Returns
WELDO facilitates safe and dignified returns for individuals coming back to Pakistan after living abroad. Our returns support starts before the individual departs their host country and continues upon arrival. We work closely with international partners to coordinate travel, provide return counselling, and ensure that returnees are informed, prepared, and supported throughout their journey. Our approach prioritizes respect, safety, and dignity—ensuring that returnees feel welcomed and not alone in the process.
Reintegration
Reintegration is a long-term process that goes beyond returning home. WELDO’s reintegration services are designed to help returnees re-establish themselves socially and economically in their home communities. We offer personalized support, including case management, livelihood development, psychosocial care, and housing assistance. Our goal is to help returnees rebuild their lives, reconnect with family and society, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Reception Services at the Airport
Upon arrival in Pakistan, WELDO ensures that returnees are greeted with warmth and care. Our reception teams are stationed at key international airports to assist returnees with immigration procedures, provide refreshments, and help with onward travel to their final destinations. This immediate support is critical in making returnees feel safe, oriented, and reassured as they take their first steps back home.
Return Counselling Services
WELDO’s return counselling is provided both before departure from the host country and after arrival in Pakistan. These sessions help returnees prepare emotionally, mentally, and logistically for their return. Our counsellors offer tailored guidance, share information about reintegration options, and help returnees develop realistic plans for resettlement and livelihood. This ensures they return with clarity and confidence.
Resettlement Assistance
Our resettlement assistance covers a wide range of support services to help returnees restart their lives. This includes help with temporary accommodation, access to healthcare, vocational training, small business support, and legal documentation. We also support family reunification and community reintegration efforts. Through these services, WELDO ensures that returnees have a stable foundation to build a secure and dignified future.
Psychosocial Support and Mental Health
Returning to one’s home country after years abroad can bring emotional and psychological challenges. WELDO provides confidential psychosocial support and mental health services to help returnees cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment difficulties. Our Psychosocial and Mental Health Department offers individual counselling, group therapy, and referrals to specialized care when needed. We prioritize the well-being of every returnee—ensuring they are emotionally supported throughout their reintegration journey.
