Sos Children's Villages International

sos children’s villages works in 134 countries and territories to support vulnerable families and help children who have lost parental care or who risk losing parental care. in a world filled with poverty, violence and injustice, children often suffer the most. for more than 65 years, sos children's villages has worked with partners in each community to give families the tools they need to care for their children. when there is no parental care, or it is in the child's best interest to be in a more supportive environment, sos children's villages provides family based alternative care, for instance in an sos family or foster family. uniquely, we provide practical support over the long term, so that the child or young person can develop resilient and reliable relationships and can face life’s challenges in the future. in turn, this work strengthens communities and the whole of society. we focus on the care, health, education and general development of each individual. everything
