Lifeline NY & Bodossaki Foundation Join Efforts to Help Homeless Refugee Children

Lifeline New York and the Bodossaki Foundation of Greece are joining efforts to support unaccompanied refugee children in need of a home.

More than 1,012,000 people have reached Greece since the beginning of 2015. Among these are thousands of children and teenagers who arrive alone – officially referred to as unaccompanied minors. In the first four months of 2016 alone, 1,530 unaccompanied minors have been registered by the Greek authorities. Currently, 420 of them are without a home, they are scattered throughout the country and many of them have experienced detention level conditions.
