Integration HUB e.V. is a non-profit organization founded in Germany by Monis Bukhari through The Syrian House (Syrisches Haus) network. The organization focuses on supporting the social and professional integration of refugees and migrants into local communities.

Core Purpose

Integration HUB e.V. works to create community spaces where refugees, migrants, and locals can meet, access services, and develop projects together, aiming to strengthen social cohesion in diverse neighborhoods. The organization addresses practical integration barriers such as access to information, language, employment support, and social networks by concentrating services and activities in one accessible “hub” structure.
