The second Tunisian SOS Children's Village was erected in the small community of Gammarth, not far from the historical site of Carthage. Gammarth is about 20 kms from the capital Tunis, at La Marsa, a northern suburb of Tunis. It is an old village with about 6.000 inhabitants. The SOS Children's Village is located near the village centre. Secondary schools can only be found in Tunis, but they can be easily reached by bus.
The SOS Children's Village of Gammarth was built on a 2 hectare site, which is an ancient olive grove. It is shaped in the traditional Arabic style and comprises 10 family houses, a Village Director's house, a Community Centre and a SOS-Kindergarten for 100 children, who predominantly come from the surrounding area. There is also a laundry, a shop, workshops and an administrative building. For the elder youths a Youth Community was established where they can live and grow up in relative independence and get gradually accustomed to living on their own without the help of SOS.
