Your donations are a lifeline and are helping to keep the kids and their mum from being left destitute on the streets of Tirana. Saida would most definitely face exploitation from sex traffickers.

You can’t believe everything
you read in the papers but it would appear that many people still do,
particularly on the issue of asylum seekers coming to Britain.
If some of our politicians and
sections of the tabloid press are to be believed, then Britain is a “soft
touch” for “floods” of “beggars” and “scroungers” using the asylum
system to get into Britain and claim “huge handouts”.
This briefing gives you the
facts
about Britain’s asylum system and destroys the myths and outright lies
fuelling racist sentiment and xenophobia against asylum seekers and all visible
minorities in Scotland and the rest of the UK.

issue, check out our website at
