There are not many organizations dealing with asylum seekers and refugees in Estonia. There are organizations that focus their activities to the reception of asylum seekers, integration and social assistance.

Since January 2011 the Estonian Human Rights Centre (HRC) has developed the project “Giving Legal Assistance to Asylum Seekers” funded by the Ministry of Interior, and has guaranteed free legal support to asylum seekers during first instance procedures and appeal cases. Law students from Tallinn University of Technology, under the supervision of senior legal experts, provide legal advice at the “Legal Aid Clinic”. HRC personnel is also monitoring conditions in the reception and detention centres for asylum seekers. The project lasts until the end of 2011.
