AMINA - Safeguarding Migrant Children Across Europe

"The Smile of the Child" participates at the transnational project entitled "AMINA - Safeguarding Migrant Children Across Europe", which is coordinated by the European Federation for missing and sexually abused children “Missing Children Europe (MCE)”. The project is funded by the “H & M Foundation”.
