M.O.U. is Signed to Provide Services to Refugee Youth
For some migrants from Central American countries, Belize is to them what the U.S. is to Belizeans – a safe haven where economic opportunities seem endless. But when families are fleeing their country to save their own lives, sometimes they need to access social services. So today, an M.O.U. was signed to ensure that over eight hundred migrant minors who are now in Belize have access to youth services. News Five’s Duane Moody reports.

Today, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the Ministry of Youth and UNHCR, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. It is a first step that allows for migrant children who have sought asylum in Belize to have access to youth services offered by G.O.B. through various agencies and departments.
