Today, many unaccompanied children live in precarious conditions, or experiene homelessness.   

It is precisely for these children who live in fear and insecurity and who do not know how to cope or where to turn for help, that METAdrasi has launched a Network for the Protection of Homeless Unaccompanied Minors.  

The Network started its operation gradually in December 2019 and came to full implementation during the first lockdown period and the implementation of strict quarantine measures to combat the coronarivus pandemic. The intervention was deemed imperative, as children could not move around to seek support and the organizations, obeying to the measures, adapted their mode of operation accordingly.  

The network consists of the following interventions that supplement eat other in order to offer a holistic and personalized care and support to each homeless unaccompanied minor. 

These interventions are: 

• Day Center “1stop4homeless” 

Unaccompanied teenagers can find personalized legal and psychosocial support, as well as a safe place to share their thoughts and to socialize. There is provision for delivery of basic needs items, as well as referrals to accommodation facilities.   The center is open from 10.00-18.00.
