Aid for unaccompanied minor refugees in Switzerland
We also support around 30 projects here in Switzerland that care for unaccompanied minors. These projects help children and young adults to become integrated in society and to find work.
The organizations help the children and young adults to:
- learn the local language and improve their maths or other core school subjects so that they find it easier to integrate into the Swiss school system or vocational training system;form plans for the future and to put them into action;integrate better into our society via sporting or school activities.
