Escorting Missions for Unaccompanied Minors by METAdrasi: 11.000 children, countless stories…

14-year-old Azal from Afghanistan was accompanied by METAdrasi’s team from Lesvos island towards an appropriate accommodation facility in Athens. As she had lost her family in the Aegean sea, it was impossible for her to face the sea…

“Each mission is a life changing experience. Seeing the anguish of these children and the conditions from which we take them, I feel I am contributing to their lives’ improvement” mentions Christina, METAdrasi’s escort.

The activity is supported by UNHCR, with funding by the European Commission, while tickets for the transfer of children are offered by Aegean Airlines, Hellenic Seaways and Blue Star Ferries.
