AMBER Alert Europe now has 38 official organizations representing 23 countries after welcoming four new organizations into the fold during the summer of 2020. The following are the newest members:

• Fundación ANAR is a non-profit that promotes children’s rights in Spain and Latin America. The organization has been managing the European hotline number for missing children in Spain since 2010. https://www.amberalert.eu/fundacion-anar/

• NGO Instituto de Apoio à Criança has been defending children’s rights since 1983. The nonprofit has been operating the missing children hotline for Portugal since 2004. https://www.amberalert.eu/iac/

• Child Rights Centre Albania is a non-governmental organization that was established in 1997 to improve children’s rights in Albania. https://www.amberalert.eu/crca/

• The Greek Safer Internet Center was launched in 2016 to promote internet safety for children. The organization teamed up with AMBER Alert Europe on the #DontBeAnEasyCatch prevention campaign. https://www.amberalert.eu/greek_safer_internet_center/

Spain officially became part of the AMBER Alert Europe system on April 25, 2018. Police in that country hope membership will help improve the ability to find missing and abducted children. Police send alerts by text messages, email and message boards throughout Spain with information and pictures of missing children believed to be in imminent danger.
