Transforming lives for generations to come
Every day, children are orphaned, separated from their families or suffering from neglect and violence. Around the world, children are increasingly vulnerable in times of crisis. And barriers like poverty and abuse prevent children from realizing their right to grow up protected, educated, loved and with the agency to design their own futures.
SOS Children's Villages exists to serve these children.
For more than 75 years and in 130 countries and territories, SOS is the world’s largest organization focused on ensuring that children and young people without parental care grow up with the family-like care, loving relationships and holistic support they need to become their strongest selves.
We work tirelessly to ensure every child has the opportunity to become a happy and successful adult who is educated, financially stable, socially and emotionally healthy, and equipped to raise their children with the same level of care they received—breaking cycles of abuse, poverty and family separation.
