The SOS Children's Village Semarang is located in the capital of the province of Central Java, on the north coast of the island. The 14 family houses and various administrative buildings were built on an area of approximately three hectares. The first children moved into the SOS Children's Village Semarang in 1984. There are Christians as well as Moslems among the children. The children attend state or private schools. There is an elementary school and a secondary school in the immediate vicinity of the SOS Children's Village. The SOS Kindergarten, which offers 80 places, is also open to children from the neighbourhood. Many of the older boys from the SOS Children's Village live at the SOS Youth Village, which was erected on the site of the SOS Children's Village in 1987.
In 1993, a traditional open assembly hall (called 'pendopo' in Indonesian) was erected in the centre of the SOS Children's Village. This hall is used for all kinds of assemblies, parties, games, and even for sports events. In one corner of the SOS Children's Village, there are a few small fish ponds, which supply the Village with fresh fish, and each SOS family has its own vegetable patch. Some of the young people are running a small chicken farm.
