Creating social networks for children

SOS Children's Villages supports families and communities so that they are able to provide for their children themselves in the future. This is why SOS Children's Villages' family strengthening programmes very much rely on work with the communities and volunteer work. In this way, local decision-makers are involved and objective needs analyses are carried out when the decision is made as to which families need what help. Only in this way can social networks develop, which local people can carry on and support on a long-term basis without assistance from SOS Children's Villages.
