Guinean Mother and Children Reunited After Three Years!

by: Aurore, Convivial Belgium – a Miles4Migrants NGO partner

“Kesso and her children had been separated for more than three years. Kesso had to leave the country and her children behind to prevent her youngest daughter from being tortured as a baby, as is customary in her culture. A large sacrifice she had to make.

Today, she is finally reunited with all her children*! She has no words to describe her feelings. She just hugs them again and again. 

Thank you Miles4Migrants for making her dream a reality. She truly is without the words to express her gratitude.”

*Miles4Migrants flew Kesso’s two oldest children (pictured on the left and right), her youngest (middle) had already accompanied her on her initial journey to Belgium.

Kesso’s children thanked Miles4Migrants for their flights with this beautiful work of art!

How Miles4Migrants helps

We collaborate with a network of global non-governmental organization (NGO) partners who work directly with refugees and migrants to identify and verify individuals who are financially unable to afford air travel. Once our partners submit flight requests, we use donated frequent flyer miles, credit card points, travel vouchers, and cash to eliminate transportation barriers for the most vulnerable individuals affected by war, persecution, or climate disaster. Our goal is to help these individuals reunite with their loved ones and start a new life in a safe environment.

– According to the United Nations, there are currently 108 million individuals forcibly displaced from their homes worldwide.  

– The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that seeking asylum is a fundamental human right. Everyone has the right to life and liberty. Everyone has the right to freedom from fear. Everyone has the right to seek asylum from persecution.

– As migration is often the last option for survival, migrants may embark on clandestine journeys, subject to danger, extortion, and inhumane conditions. 

– Once they finally get legal approval for resettlement, migrants face another challenge that makes the journey seem impossible: the transportation costs.

There are many ways for you to get involved and help us continue our work:

You can donate cash to help us cover operational expenses or contribute your unused air miles, credit card points, or travel vouchers to help us book flights for refugees and asylum seekers. Additionally, you can help us spread the word about our cause and our impact on the lives of those we serve.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, has the power to make a difference. Thank you for considering supporting our mission.
