The SOS Children's Village Seoul was built in 1980 and is located on the western edge of the capital. Seoul is the country's largest city. The SOS Children's Village consists of 15 family houses, a community house, an administrative building, the Village Director's house and a communal bath, which is typical of Korea. All the children from the SOS Children's Village Seoul attend schools in the city.
In 1988, an SOS Youth Village was constructed in Seoul. For the older children from the SOS Children's Village, the move to the SOS Youth Facility is their first step towards independence. Teenagers usually move to the SOS Youth Facility while they are still doing their vocational training or continuing their schooling. In Seoul, there is also an SOS Social Centre for Mother and Child, where mothers can seek advice on childcare. The SOS Social Centre was opened in 1982 and offers programmes of further education, lectures and other activities. SOS has established a day-care centre for the children of working mothers. The children receive a meal every day. There is also an SOS Kindergarten, which is open to children from the neighbourhood. The SOS Social Centre has contributed a lot towards the acceptance of the SOS Children's Village by the local population.
