SOS Children's Villages began its work in Mexico in 1967. Four years later, the first SOS Children's Village opened its doors in Mexico City. During the following decades SOS Children's Villages and adjoining SOS Social Centres, which are at the disposal of the local people, have been erected all over the country.
