- The creation of ten (10) places for unaccompanied minors refugees, girls aged 3 months to 17 years and boys aged from 3 months to 10 years who are in Greece without being accompanied by a parent, in accordance with Greek law and for as long as their parental responsibility is not entrusted to another person.
- The creating of nine (9) places for children, girls aged 3 months to 17 years and boys aged 3 months to 10 years of age, irrespective of nationality, who live in Greece and have been removed from their family environment by public prosecution, for reasons of abuse or neglect or serious social conditions.

The operation of the Home is based on the long - term experience of "The Smile of the Child" through the development of a mixed model of Homes for Children in danger that operates at a national level and ensures holistically the family care and warmth for both children of Greek or other origin that have been separated from their family environment by the prosecutor due to abuse, neglect or severe social conditions and refugee unaccompanied minors who are at great risk of being persecuted, disappearance victims of trafficking or smuggling.
