In order for this effort of KINONIKO EKAV to succeed, it needs your help. If you would also like to play an active role in our quest to achieve our mission, become a Volunteer now!
Every donation … small or large, helps us cope with the growing needs of unaccompanied minor refugees hosted in our Structures. You can support the work of the Kinoniko EKAV.
Unaccompanied refugee children are one of the most vulnerable groups within the refugee population. Children without parents, without a family, become victims of exploitation, abuse, and social exclusion.

Nasir, Omran, and Ferdinand, refugee boys from Afghanistan, Syria, and Burundi, arrived in Athens and from that day our common journey began. The documentary "I want to be a winner" focuses on these teenagers, hosted by the organization Kinoniko EKAV, from 2021 to 2023.
Christina Vazou, a shelter staff member, photographer, and filmmaker, started documenting their everyday life. Through the videos she shot, we wish to report the reality of their journey, and above all we want to raise awareness. We hope to open the doors of a world unknown to the general public and reduce the distance between us.
How your support makes a difference???
Your generous contribution will directly fund the production and post-production of our documentary.
Raise awareness with us!

And he could not bear it… We met him in the garden of the psychiatric hospital. For a while he ignored us, he does not look at us… Slowly he gets discouraged, he starts speaking, first in Arabic then he says some words in English… He had three months to communicate! I left with the feeling that I had accomplished something important that day.
My mind is haunted by paraplegic children. Their voice is quiet, their contact with the outside world is non-existent, and their preoccupation with something creative is absent. The family is often supportive, but isolated. The refugee has exhausted them and support is necessary. When the day is over and I am alone, I wonder how they can endure all this misery.
