Tkabo, Msgana og Fyona

Refugees Welcome has made a special effort to reunite the many families from Eritrea who were separated due to having to flee and subsequently had their cases rejected by the Danish authorities. Many of the cases have required many years of persistent work, and in the end we succeeded in changing the authorities' practice in several areas. This case has been going on for 6 years and finally ended happily!
