The transition into adulthood can be particularly challenging for refugee and migrant young people, in particular unaccompanied minors. Preparing for such a transition in advance – through supporting educational achievement and providing coaching and mentoring – can be particularly effective.

Accommodation and support for families accompanying their hospitalized children in Athens
Since the beginning of its operation, Zeuxis has been listening to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially children, to make a real and measurable difference in their lives. To this end, it created the "Hygeia" guesthouse for families accompanying their hospitalized children in Athens for as long as they have to stay to finalize treatment. The project is implemented with the support of the German organization Kindernothilfe (KNH) and is aimed at foreigners with refugee profile and Greek families.
Currently in Greece there are unaccompanied minors (UAMs) who are homeless, in non-formal housing projects or in unknown locations and are faced with dangers such as sexual exploitation, exposure to trafficking, forced labor etc.
Many of those UAMs have not even been registered, whereas the majority of them has no access to formal education, their health is not being monitored, they do not have access to regular treatment if needed, they have not been vaccinated etc.
