The SOS Children's Village Dharamsala is situated 8 km outside the town, at the foot of the Dhauladhar mountains, which are part of the Himalayas. It consists of 43 large family houses, a community house, several administrative buildings and a babies' home. More than 2,000 children and youngsters live at this SOS Children's Village. All the meals are prepared at a central kitchen and then distributed to the families.
The SOS Kindergarten and the SOS Schools (a primary and a secondary school), which are now run as private schools by the Tibetans, are not only attended by children from the village but also by Tibetan children living in the neighbourhood. The large SOS Vocational Training Centre offers courses for different trades. There is an SOS Medical Centre where people from the neighbourhood are treated as well. The SOS Children's Village also has two SOS Youth Facilities, one for girls and one for boys.
