Greece
In Greece, the needs amongst refugee and asylum-seeking children and their families remain high. Through our projects, we ensure their protection and promote their integration and social inclusion, while addressing the systemic issues and service gaps which affect the wider Greek population and other minority groups. Since 2016, we have been assisting children in detention and living on the street as well as victims of abuse.
What we do
Children and youth in migration
Child protection
Access to justice for children and youth
Key projects
"We support children with protection concerns and their families in a multidisciplinary manner, which includes education, medical, legal, accommodation, and psychosocial support services, in order to build their strengths."
