The Jesuit Service for Refugees opened a Reception Center for minors, asylum seekers and vulnerable unaccompanied and separated children in Sarajevo.
The wave of migration that swept the whole world did not bypass Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) either. Over the years, the system of caring for people in transit included the establishment of reception centers, care, assistance, as well as the process of monitoring all steps for those who found themselves in our country on that way.
Children are a special category in such a process. Indeed, children of all ages come to our country who are unaccompanied, vulnerable and in transit through BiH. Such children must be adequately cared for.
That is why the Jesuit Service for Refugees in Sarajevo opened a Reception Center for minors, asylum seekers and vulnerable unaccompanied and separated children. Center is supported by: the Ministry of Security of BiH, Caritas Switzerland, Swiss Solidarity and Caritas BiH through the project “Support to a vulnerable group of children and refugees on the way through BiH” and the BRAT project “Balkan route: Acceptance in transit”
The center is focused on providing comprehensive support to children by offering a wide range of services.
Children must be protected, and while those who work on their care are in the Center, they are protected from everything that represents a challenge and danger.
It is important to realize that they have everything at the Center and that while they are there they have hot meals, a roof over their heads, medical care, clean clothes and shoes. Most importantly, they have people who take care of them 24 hours a day, so that none of them feel lonely even though they are miles away from their families, Klix.ba reports.
