There are several NGOs that support refugees, offering councelling (partly even inside detentions) and providing food packages. But some are in an ambivalent role and cooperate also with bigger bodies like IOM (International Organisation for Migration) and sometimes even in collaboration with the authorities of the border regime. Therefore refugees and migrants need to be careful with some of these organisations.

Uzhgorod
Charity Fund “Caritas Mukachevo” (Uzhgorod, Transcarpathia)
Renders legal aid in TDC in Chop Border Detachment for migrants and supplies with food packs (for IOM)

Mukachevo
International Foundation “Carpathian Region” (NEEKA) (Mukachevo, Transcarpathia)
Renders legal aid in the refugee Camp in Mukachevo for women and children and to refugees in Uzhgorod, and also supplies with food packs (both for UNHCR)
Implements guardianship of unaccompanied minor refugees (in cooperation with Danish Refugee Council)
