The Miniila website helps children and young migrants on the move find the information and support they need to navigate life in a new country and make informed decisions about their future.
Why Miniila matters?
Children on the move often lack access to trusted information, services and support. More than 30,000 children in migration have gone missing in Europe, leaving them at greater risk of exploitation, trafficking and harm to their physical and mental health. Miniila helps address this gap by providing reliable, child-friendly information and support.
Young migrants were actively involved in developing Miniila, helping ensure that the platform reflects their real needs, questions and experiences.
What does Miniila mean?
Miniila brings together the Arabic words مِن (min), meaning “from”, and إلى (ilā), meaning “to”. Together, مِن إلى means “from … to …”.
The name reflects the journeys of children and young people on the move, from one place to another, and towards a safer and brighter future.
It is short, simple and easy to pronounce in many different languages.
Countries and Languages
The website currently contains country-specific information for young people on the move in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, available in Arabic, English, Russian and Ukrainian. Local partner organisations help keep the information accurate and up to date.
Country-specific information for Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece and Slovenia will be added soon.
