Strengthening support systems for foreigners with EU co-financing: Anna’s journey to belonging in Latvia

Ministry of the Interior

Effective integration is an integral component of national security. Thanks to investments from the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), the One-Stop Agency operates in Latvia, providing a practical and psychological sense of security for individuals who choose Latvia as their home.

Today marks the release of the next chapter in Anna Korberga’s experience story. Anna openly shares her impressions of her first steps in a new environment and explains how receiving timely information can become a decisive turning point for successfully starting a new life in another country.

From Uncertainty to Confidence

Upon arriving in a new country, individuals often face uncertainty and insecurity regarding practical daily matters. In her story, Anna emphasizes how crucial it was to learn about a professional support point. The team at the Society Integration Foundation’s (SIF) One-Stop Agency assisted Anna with both essential information and practical services, which eased her daily life and provided a much-needed sense of security.

Support as a Bridge to Belonging

Targeted support often serves as a bridge between feeling like a stranger and achieving a sense of belonging. Services financed by EU funds ensure that every client receives personalized assistance, helping them overcome barriers and integrate into the labor market and the local community.

Integration is not merely an individual benefit—it is an investment in societal stability. Knowing that there is a place to turn for advice and assistance reduces the risks of social exclusion, creating a safer and more cohesive environment for all residents of Latvia.

We invite you to watch Anna’s story and learn more about how the One-Stop Agency helps people begin a new chapter of their lives in Latvia! Watch Anna’s story (in Latvian) HERE!

Support for individuals is provided within the framework of the AMIF.
