From first contact to full independence, we offer comprehensive support tailored to each person and each stage of their process, in person or remotely.
Ubuntu Canarias is a non-profit association working for the social, legal and employment reception and integration of migrant people and their families in the Canary Islands. We combine legal guidance on immigration, asylum and international protection with psychosocial support, intercultural mediation, employment guidance and community awareness-raising, with the aim of facilitating equal access to rights, resources and opportunities.
In line with our statutes, we organise our activity around five main areas of work. Training is added as a complementary activity, present across all of them.
Information and support on immigration, asylum and international protection, together with assistance in administrative procedures. We listen to each situation before pointing a way forward, so every person understands their real options.
We offer technical guidance on immigration, asylum, international protection and regularisation procedures. If you have questions about your legal situation or need advice, get in touch with us.
Ask your legal questions
We support the settling-in process: facilitating access to housing, education, and social and health services, and connecting each person with local associations and neighbourhoods across the Canary Islands.
