Wanteraktioun

Every year since 2001, Caritas Luxembourg has participated in the "Wanteraktioun" initiative organised by the Ministry of Family Affairs, with the aim of giving homeless people a refuge that is available night and day during the months of extreme cold.

As part of this initiative, in which the Croix-Rouge luxembourgeoise (Luxembourg Red Cross) and the non-profit association Inter-Actions Asbl also participate, Caritas Luxembourg takes care of the provision of night accommodation, from dinner to breakfast. The night shelter is near the airport. There is a shuttle service that leaves from the station. In total, almost one hundred people (including both professionals and volunteers) work alongside Caritas Luxembourg as part of Wanteraktioun. 

Wanteraktioun is an initiative of the Ministry of Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together and Reception of Refugees. The three partners are regrouped in a joint ASBL, DrÄieck asbl.

How to get to the Wanteraktioun night shelter: The night shelter is located at 12a, Beim Haff, L-1751 Findel (Building A), near the airport. People are welcomed between 7.15 pm and 11 pm. However, prior registration is necessary. Registration is done during the day at the Inter-Actions coordination service in Building B, at the same address (open from 11.30 a.m. to 4 p.m.). The day centre, managed by the Luxembourg Red Cross, is also organised at Findel (Building A): free meal between 12.00 and 14.30. A free shuttle bus signalled "WAK" leaves at 18.55 from the Luxembourg City bus station (Quai 105). Otherwise, the foyer can be reached by bus 29, Findel Business Center stop.
