SOS Children's Villages started its work in Panama at the beginning of the 1980s. In 1982, the first SOS Children's Village of the country was inaugurated in a north-western suburb of Panama City. In order to be able to give a permanent home to more abandoned and orphaned children, other SOS Children's Villages were erected in the following years: in 1990, the SOS Children's Village Penonomé, which is located 150 km from Panama City, and in 1999, the SOS Children's Village David, which is situated in the capital of the province of Chiriquí.
