 SOS Children’s Villages’ aim is for children to be healthy in all ways – physically, emotionally and mentally. We strive for this by giving families access to professionals who can help them prevent and cure illness and trauma. SOS Children’s Villages runs medical centres that provide basic health care, such as vaccines and childbirth facilities. More... Through our community- and social centres, we provide guidance on nutrition, first aid and hygiene. We help children deal with emotional, social and mental problems and help families get access to health services in the community, which may include financial support. More... Halting and beginning to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS is one of the UN's Millennium Development Goals. SOS Children’s Villages runs HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programmes through medical centres as well as community and social centres. This includes testing, counseling and education about risks of infection. We also help people get free or inexpensive antiretroviral medication.
