SOS Children’s Villages

About

SOS Children's Villages believes in the strength of family. Yet as many as 1 in 10 children grow up without adequate parental care or are at risk of losing it. We support children and young people in their own family or include them in an SOS family if they cannot grow up with their own family, so that they are assured of attention, nutrition, education and love. Because with a strong and loving family,
children have a much greater chance at a bright future.
