Migrant Self-Help Organizations (MSOs)
Migrant self-help organizations (MSOs) support both new immigrants and migrants who have been living in Germany for some time in the integration process. They provide a social network for migrants. MSOs provide information, guidance, and advice; offer support; and advocate for migrants’ interests vis-à-vis the majority society.
