How we help
From long-term family type care for orphaned and abandoned children to a wide range of services helping communities in need, SOS Children's Villages is making a difference to thousands of lives across the world.
SOS Children's Villages
We believe that every child should have a mother, a family and a home for as long as they need it. In 439 SOS Children's Villages across the world, this is what we are giving to over 50,000 children and young people. SOS Children's Villages
SOS Youth Facilities
SOS Youth Facilities are an extension of the SOS Children's Village model adapted to the needs of adolescents. They help SOS youngsters take their first steps towards independence within the security of the SOS Children's Village infrastructure. SOS Youth Facilities
SOS Kindergartens
Children from the village develop their social and intellectual skills in SOS Kindergartens alongside local children. Priority is given to children from socially disadvantaged families and meals are often provided. SOS Kindergartens
SOS Schools
Without education, children don't stand much of a chance in life. So where local facilities are inadequate or non-existent, SOS Children's Villages also builds schools to help local children as well as their own. SOS Schools
SOS Vocational Training Centres
An independent future means being able to support yourself. SOS Vocational Training Centres provide young people from the SOS Children's Villages and the neighbourhood with work skills to meet local employment opportunities. SOS Vocational Training Centres
SOS Social Centres
Designed to meet local needs, SOS Social Centres offer a wide range of community services from child care and skills training for single mothers to food, shelter and schooling for street children. SOS Social Centres
SOS Medical Centres
SOS Medical Centres are set up where there is a lack of basic medical facilities. Maternity services are a high priority and well as disease prevention and vaccination programmes. SOS Medical Centres
SOS Emergency Relief Programmes
SOS Children's Villages is not an emergency aid organisation but in areas where we already work, SOS Emergency Relief Programmes provide rapid and effective aid and relief in times of crisis. SOS Emergency Relief Programmes
