After a challenging journey to Europe, he expressed deep relief and gratitude at being able to travel back safely and with dignity. He shared his excitement about reuniting with his family and walking once again along the familiar shores of Liido Beach in Mogadishu, a place that evokes peace, childhood memories and the feeling of home🏖️

👉Earlier this month, IOM Malta assisted a young man from North Africa in returning safely to his country of origin through our Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) program.
He shared how deeply grateful he felt for the dedicated support provided throughout the process, from counselling and documentation to travel arrangements and reception upon arrival.
For him, the journey home was more than a flight: it was a chance to reunite with his family, regain stability and start planning his future🌍
IOM Malta remains committed to supporting migrants who wish to return home but lack the means to do so, ensuring that each person receives clear information, individualized assistance and rights-based support every step of the way.
