About Pathfinder
Pathfinder is a free guide to help in Brussels for people without a home, asylum seekers, refugees and newcomers.
Why it exists
Brussels has many organisations that give food, beds, showers, care and legal help for free. Most people who need them don't know they exist. Pathfinder puts them in one place, in your language.
Who makes it
Pathfinder is built and maintained by one independent developer in Brussels, for free. It is not an organisation, it is not paid by anyone, and it does not sell anything.
We don't take donations
Please don't send money to Pathfinder. If you want to help, give directly to the organisations on this site. They are the ones who cook the meals, open the doors and make the change in people's lives.

Where the information comes from
Each place shows when it was last checked and where the information comes from. We also thank the people behind Le Bon Plan (DUNE) and the Brussels shower table (ULB) for their work.
