According to Positive News, three apps are helping refugees build new connections.

2. Refugeye
This app was created by Paris-based graphic designer Geoffrey Dorne. Through this app the refugees can communicate using pictograms and drawings making it easier for them if they don’t know the language of the new place. It helps them in getting proper advice and support.

3. Refoodgee
This was created by a group of tech entrepreneurs to help the refugees feel at home in Berlin. The newcomers can sign up on the app and choose the languages they speak and the cuisine they prefer which is then used to match them with the hosts. This app aims at helping the refugees mix with the new community with ease.
