Omaniae vzw aims at reducing the humanitarian tragedy of African migrants facing untimely death when travelling through the desert and over sea. The activities of Omaniae vzw focus on addressing and tackling the misinformation strategies that (mis)guide migrants to engage in a risky and irregular search for greener pastures. In fulfilling its aim Omaniae vzw reaches out (i) to the eighty percent (80%) of African migrants who will be confronted with almost certain death as also (ii) to the twenty percent (20%) that do make it but are soon confronted with shattered dreams and unattainable expectations. As a platform for all migrants and those that think about migrating, the main themes that inspire our activities are: - ADVOCACY: o Omaniae vzw stands as a bridge between undocumented migrants and the government. o In partnership with schools and churches Omaniae vzw campaigns against misinformation and negative influences. o Omaniae vzw develops a comprehensive approach that strives to annihilate forced repatriation, imprisonment of undocumented migrants and the use of excessive force. - INFORMATION: o Omaniae vzw provides information about job opportunities in the migrants countries of origin that will meet the needs of the less privileged. o Omaniae vzw informs migrants on how to remain competitive (through our vocational training program). o Omaniae vzw informs undocumented migrants about legal migration possibilities but also to direct them to opportunities in their home countries. o Omaniae vzw informs migrants about procedures to reacquire their identity card. o Omaniae vzw informs the general public about the mission of Omaniae vzw by being present and making itself known at local (street) festivals. - BI-DIRECTIONAL PROGRAM: o Empowerment training program: Omaniae vzw provides skilled (vocational) training programs that develops and enhances the talents of migrants for use in either the host or the home countries. o Reconnect program: Omaniae vzw organizes itself as network platform through which migrants can reconnect with their families and start planning a successful return.
