Except for using it as a universal currency , how would they be using bitcoin ?
Without the majority having an internet, it is unlikely they will benefit from having this technology.

Any charitable moves like this, as long as they're executed successfully and publicized broadly can bring positive awareness to Bitcoin.

I think we need more information about the issue before we can come up with ideas for charitable actions.

What's the use of bitcoin like in these geographic Regions? Do shops or transportation providers accepted it as payment?

Or you could set up a fund for collecting donations for these migrants and then disperse them into bitcoin wallets. The challenge is that if they're traveling, largely by foot, sleeping outside, etc., they may not have easy access to the internet or smart phones to use the currency on the move.

Perhaps a public Internet access site may promote use of BTC with a campaign such as "Browse the internet for 1 hour, get half the cost back in BTC". Inmigrants (at least in Spain) use public Internet access sites and call centers a lot, and are always looking for the cheapest one. If for example, the owner offers half (or 25% the cost) back in BTC, and explains how to create a wallet, etc....it might work well.

Then the owner could setup a faucet rotator (or other kind of referral profit) for the users and get referals from his own clients  ::), so he benefits of introducing people to Bitcoin.

 Imigrants in Europe are getting Refugee status,social money,all accomodation.That is quite good idea,but it hasto be done in coparation with EU governaments.Otherwise it could be suspicious that  we are making anonymous transaction to launder money are fund some terroristic groups
