- Who are SOS Children’s Villages?
-
SOS Children’s Villages is the world’s largest organisation committed to ensuring that children and young people, like Zeina, don’t grow up alone.
That’s been our goal for nearly 75 years and the difference we make to vulnerable children’s lives has never been more important than it is today.
If, like us, you agree no child should grow up alone, give a gift today.
- Why we exist
-
From the death of a parent, to poverty, abandonment, domestic abuse, war or natural disasters – there are many reasons why 1 in 10 children around the world don’t have a safe, caring and loving childhood with family support.
Without even basic parental care, children can’t develop into healthy, capable, adults.
That’s where we, and people like you, come in.
- Who we help
-
We believe that any child who grows up without a caring family is a child who grows up alone.
We strive to reach the 140 million children worldwide who’ve lost parental care, or who are at risk of losing it.
With our help, they won’t face life alone.
- How we help
-
At SOS Children’s Villages, we use our unique expertise to help children grow up in a safe, loving and nurturing family environment. Where possible, we support and strengthen families to help them to overcome their struggles so that parents can properly care for their children. When children are neglected, abused or unsafe, we ensure they can grow up with a loving family, either cared for by relatives, in foster care, or where no other solution is available, at one of our 559 SOS Children’s Villages communities, protected from abuse and exploitation.
Our priority is to ensure that children get the love, care and education they need for a brighter future.
- The difference we make
-
The millions of children we reach, in over 130 countries worldwide, are loved, nurtured and supported as they grow up. They are listened to, surrounded by family, friends and an embracing community.
They’re given an education, the chance to learn essential life skills and develop into healthy, well-adjusted adults. Most crucially, they feel safe, knowing there are people who care about them.
All of these things are essential for any child to thrive, not just survive.
