METAdrasi within the context of the unaccompanied minors’ protection net, created Accommodation Facilities for Unaccompanied Minors in Chios and Samos.

The Accommodation Facilities provide children with a safe, suitably-equipped space in accordance with their age. The specialized interdisciplinary groups (psychologists, social workers, special educators and nurses) and the support staff, along with the support of METAdrasi’s interpreters, offer children care, cover their everyday needs and provide psychological and social support, as well as health care and legal advice.

The daily schedule of the children hosted is enriched with a variety of activities for their psychosocial development, highlighting their skills. Furthermore, social, cultural, recreational and educational events are being organized in the facilities.

From December 2015 until June 2023, over 370 unaccompanied children have been hosted in METAdrasi’s Accommodation Facilities.
