Emergencies
Children are at extreme risk during emergencies like climate-related disasters, war, and conflict.
Those who are already separated from their families, or in unstable situations, are even more vulnerable. Family separation, violence, and the trauma of displacement severely impact the wellbeing of children and young people.
With a global presence in over 130 countries, SOS Children’s Villages responds swiftly to protect children who are most at risk, keep families together, and support long-term recovery.
We specialise in protecting and caring for children during emergencies by preventing family separation, reuniting separated children with their families, providing mental health support, and ensuring education continues.
We provide urgent humanitarian assistance, including health, nutrition, and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) services, while offering alternative care for those who have lost parental care or are seperated temporarily from their families.
We also focus on recovery, preparedness, and resilience building, all guided by the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence.
