Once a refugee arrives in their host country they face a multitude of issues that often prevent successful integration. Losing an important document or missing a meeting can jeopardiaze their right to work or other key benefits. To make things worse, their case managers are overworked and often lack the time and resources to offer the personal guidance to help minimize these negative outcomes from occuring.
Asyla is a product that intends to address the communication gap existing between refugee resettlement agencies and the refugees they represent. It is a task management system that provides a centralised repository of client information for case managers that help them automate key workflows and improve their productivity. It's also a progress tracker and personal-assistant for refugees to help them meet core integration milestones and feel more in control of their own life rather than a cog in the bureacratic machine.
