This is the UK charity homepage of SOS Children, the world's largest orphan and abandoned children's charity. Child sponsors and donors worldwide provide a new family and home for more than 78,000 children in 500 unique Children's Villages in 124 countries. Our supporters also help a million children and their families through SOS community outreach programmes.

This week is World Orphan Week (click on logo for more details):

SOS Children: Offering real child sponsorship

We offer real child sponsorship. Our sponsors and donors help children whose parents are not there for them. They may be AIDS orphans, street children, child soldiers or children orphaned by war, poverty or natural disasters. We give these children a mother and a family in a home within an SOS Children's Village. Donations pay to build the Villages and run them until child sponsors cover the running costs. Where family life is at risk (for example where parents in Africa have AIDS), we run programmes to help strengthen them and keep them together.

Our strategic goal for the next eight years is to help a million child sponsors give a million children a family life. Of these, one hundred thousand children will be given a new family and home in an SOS Children's Village. Nine hundred thousand children, who might otherwise be street children, will be able to grow up within their own (extended) family with our support.
