Miniila is an app tailored to the needs of children in migration, with a focus on facilitating access to dedicated services in the area in which they find themselves. The app also provides child-friendly information on the existing support for children in the European Union, on how to reach safety and on relevant procedures, such as procedures for international protection and family reunification.
The services are available on a map depending on where the child finds themselves, and are categorized by types: "helpline", "food", "shelter", "toilet/shower", "family", "health", "education", "clothing", "faith", "fun", "asylum" and "guardians". All services included in the App are from trusted NGOs and international organisations.
This app is available in several languages: English, French, Arabic, Farsi and Tigrinya. Its also available in Belgium, Sweden, the UK, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany and Greece.

- A list of services available nearby with a description and location on the map

Dont worry - we are not going to give this information to anyone (not police, not asylum authorities, no one)! And we wont tell anyone where you are. We just want to show you help closest to you and help you reach safety.
