The project will allow families and individuals residents of the Republic of San Marino to take MSNA into custody, including those coming from the Greek islands. Still I Rise has been involved with the project from the start.
The Republic of San Marino has unanimously approved the bill that will allow individuals and families to
welcome unaccompanied foreign minors living in migrant centres or reception facilities. This is the legal basis to start a foster care process, including from the Greek islands. The news was welcomed enthusiastically by Still I Rise, which, as a non-profit organisation has followed the story of the bill from the beginning. After the approval of the agenda, presented by Councillor Sara Conti on 1 July 2020, the bill was brought to the plenary session last 27 April.
