Integration with Nema Problema

Nema Problema is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 and based in Stockholm, focused on integration through mentorship. We initially supported children and youth in Ukraine, Uganda, and Ghana, but our mission has evolved to helping adults integrate into Swedish society. Today, we promote labor market integration by connecting established professionals with individuals from diverse backgrounds in Sweden who are looking to advance their careers. Through our mentorship programs, we strive to create a more inclusive and integrated society.

Since 2016 we have:

• Connected thousands of individuals to a mentor for guidance in the Swedish labor market.
• Helped hundreds of people gain the skills necessary to get employed in Sweden.
• Given thousands of individuals a new network of friends in Sweden.

Our core values

• Entrepreneurial Charity – We focus on effective decision making processes and the organization is defined by a problem solving approach.
• Effective Altruism – Our work is based on critical thinking and evidence and we continuously evaluate our impact in order to make the most out of our resources.
• Positivity and Happiness – We believe that helping others is both fun and fulfilling. And we spread that belief to engage others.

Nema Problema applies the above mentioned principles to our work with integrating immigrants. We create encounters between newly arrived and established Swedes in order to improve occupational, educational and social integration.

Mentorship Programs

In our mentorship programs, mentees are matched with mentors established in the Swedish labor market. We match pairs based on interests and education level as well as professional goals and backgrounds. The program lasts eight months, and you and your partner are expected to meet once a month during the program. We offer many opportunities for pairs to meet with others within the program in various group sessions and activities. The main goals of the mentorship program are to:

• Help our mentees to enter or advance in the Swedish labor market or enter an education.
• Create social networks between participants.
• Increase knowledge and cultural competencies among people established in the Swedish labor market.
