Our Facilities
As a result of the social hardship which is partly caused by the strong increase in population, SOS Children's Village International started to take action in Egypt in 1974. The first Egyptian SOS Children's Village was completed in 1977 in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, which at the same time is Africa's largest city with altogether 13 million inhabitants. The second SOS Children's Village was constructed in Alexandria and was inaugurated in 1980. In 1984, the third SOS Children's Village started to operate. It was erected in Tanta, a town situated in the middle of the Nile Delta.
