Country information
The first SOS Children's Village Tegucigalpa was built in the capital of Tegucigalpa. It went into operation in 1970 and was closed down 25 years later. As the old SOS Children's Village Tegucigalpa did not correspond to the standards of an SOS Children's Village any more, a new one had to be erected.

The new SOS Children's Village Tegucigalpa is located in the residential area of Colonia Las Hadas de Comayaguela in the southwest of the city at a distance of approximately 1 km from the airport of Toncontín. In addition to the family houses and the standard community facilities of an SOS Children's Village the SOS Children's Village Tegucigalpa includes an SOS Kindergarten and an SOS Youth Facility. (The older children move there, in order to prepare for independent life.) The infrastructure is very good; there are bancs, pharmacies, hospitals and shops within easy reach. The children attend the primary and secondary schools in the vicinity of the SOS Children's Village.
