Mawaddah e.V. is a non-profit ortanization in Berlin that deals with the family as a whole. Since the family is a fundamental part of the society, making sure the family is doing well means the society will flourish, and on the contrary, if the family is separated and torn, it will lead to the collapse of society. When parents are capable of communicating and agreeing on the guidelines for good parenting, this lays the groundwork for the formation and maintenance of the family, whilst the inability to cope with differences will affect the family negatively and further lead to negative effects on society. Hence the importance of working with the family.
It is undisputed that the benefit of this work will reflect positively on the different age groups suffering the scourge of war, the cruelty of fleeing and seeking refuge in a new society. It is necessary to deal with the negative effects of the war and the rehabilitation of the family so that it would become an active member of society.
Our idea stems from the increase in psychological and social problems suffered by refugee families.
Accordingly, we see that the solution to the problems and difficulties lies in:
- Recognize the problem itself and recognize its existence
- Discuss ways of solving the problems, difficulties and negative effects by listening to their problems, discussing and dialoguing with them to get to the reasons that led to these problems and give advice, opinion and necessary counseling by specialists to find a solution to restore their mental peace and work with them so they adapt to the new conditions around them .
- Legal awareness is necessary to integrate into the German society by explaining the German laws and the need to abide them . This would save the large administrative effort that was provided by Germany and reduces the cost incurred by both the state and the breakers of the law.
Our motto
Together, hand in hand, for a happier life.

In order to reach such a level, we work on raising the living standards of family members and raising awareness regarding the setup of the child. This is done by following the regulations of Children Rights and by setting up an example through parental guidance and coursework
