HUMAN MOBILITY AND REFUGEE
We provide comprehensive protection services and restitution of rights for 300 unaccompanied and separated children and adolescents in a refugee situation in the city of Quito, through psychosocial accompaniment and humanitarian assistance to support their processes of autonomy and local integration.
Our organization has two autonomy houses with a total capacity of 20 children and adolescents at a time, as well as trained technical personnel for their accompaniment.
We call them “Isabel Vendramini autonomy departments for women and Spondylus for men”.
