SOS Children's Villages started its work in Jamaica in 1970. One year later, the Caribbean's first SOS Children's Village was inaugurated in Montego Bay. In 1985, five houses were added to the first SOS Children's Village Barret Town, at the same time as a second SOS Children's Village was inaugurated near the capital of Kingston. Since the late ?90s both SOS Children's Villages run their own SOS Kindergarten.
