Maria's Journey to a New Beginning
Maria arrived in Germany in 2023 with her two children, uncertain about the future. Through DC Connect, she found the support she needed.
Finding Healthcare
The first challenge was healthcare. Using our platform, Maria connected with Caritas Munich for:
- Initial health screenings
- Mental health counseling
- Pediatric care for her children
Learning German
Maria enrolled in a German Language Course (A1-B1) offered by the Refugee Support Network. After 6 months, she achieved B1 certification.
Employment Success
With her new language skills, Maria completed the Job Skills Training program and now works as a medical assistant.
"DC Connect gave me hope when I had none. The organizations I found here changed my family's life." — Maria, Munich
