SALU

• Streetwork is essentially extra muros work (literally: “outside the walls”) to support homeless people by coming to them and informing them about help they can receive.

Our social workers and educators meet socially excluded people in public spaces and offer them support if they wish. Various rounds are organised during the day and at night to offer them soup or hot drinks and to inform them of the help available.

• “Saxophone” supervised accomodations provides beneficiaries with furnished accommodation and support to stabilise their socio-economic situation. Organised in such a way that each person supported has an individual furnished room as well as a shared kitchen, shower room and sanitary facilities, it encourages learning to live in a community while offering individualised support to enable the beneficiaries to stabilise their socio-economic situation.

• In Winter, the “Wanteraktioun” (WAK) or Winter Action is a humanitarian initiative that aims to prevent homeless people from falling victim to hypothermia during the cold season, from 1 December to 31 March each year.

The Luxembourg Red Cross oversees the day shelter, where a lunch is offered to the beneficiaries. They can also participate in recreational activities or simply spend the afternoon in the warmth. Active listening is offered to the beneficiaries.
