Go Vap is a suburb of Ho Chi Minh City. The SOS Children's Village consists of 20 family houses, which were constructed in the local style and are ideal for the hot climate. They are grouped around a central village pond.
There is also a community centre. Many of the children living at the SOS Children's Village Go Vap suffer from the delayed consequences of the defoliant used during the war. A specially trained full-time nurse takes care of them. Some children have been operated on successfully.
An SOS School was opened in September 1993. At first it was only a primary school but it was soon extended and now offers classes up to secondary level. The SOS Kindergarten is open to children from the neighbourhood. There is an SOS Social Centre, which caters to the needs of the local population. Children of working mothers are looked after at the day-care centre.
For older youths of the SOS Children's Village there is an SOS Youth House, where they are prepared for their independent lives while they still attend school or do their vocational training.
