Help orphaned, abandoned and other vulnerable children with a donation to SOS Children's Villages

Ways to make a Donation

Belonging to a home and family means feeling safe to be yourself and to dream freely about your future.

It also means having all-around support so you can chase those dreams. At SOS Children’s Villages, we foster that feeling of belonging while looking after each child’s needs and aspirations. You can be part of the world’s largest nongovernmental family care movement by donating to SOS Children’s Villages. Your gift will help provide care, a safe home and tools for orphaned and abandoned children so they can grow and thrive. It’s easy—donate online or by check.

"Home" means everything to an orphaned or abandoned child. SOS's work provides them with care, loving homes and long-term support. This is all made possible by the generosity of donors.

"My SOS mother always stood next to me, encouraged me…and motivated me. I still remember her words: 'Whatever you do, give one hundred percent. Believe in yourself.'"

Reasons to Donate

Lasting outcomes

The initial focus for SOS is a loving home for every child. With that foundation in place, the outcomes are lasting, a ripple effect—like an SOS child’s positive impact on future generations, and improved community awareness of children’s rights and child safeguarding.

Another reason to give…Because you can!

Supporting SOS can cost as little as the price of a fancy coffee or lunch! A gift in any amount can do something! But it is only with your help that SOS is able to reach and support the children we serve.

Trust is paramount in supporting a cause.

SOS Children's Villages is a mission you can rely on, as the largest global nonprofit dedicated to children who have lost their parents, or can’t grow up with their biological families. Our commitment to children is tireless and time-honored. Since 1949, we’ve been building strong families for the world’s most vulnerable children.

Every child deserves to be safe, strong, and valued.

Goes without saying, right? We agree. You share SOS’ values on these basic children’s rights, and on the innate potential of every child.

We take for granted, what others in the world struggle very hard for.

“Home” is an ordinary notion but for millions of orphans and abandoned children in the world today, it’s an unattained luxury. Many of these children also face daily threats of trafficking, abuse, child labor, and worse.

For 70 years SOS Children's Villages has served children worldwide by providing them loving homes and long-term support.

Take Action

Because of you, children are getting the care and support to shape their own futures. They are well on their way to becoming their own advocates, but there is a long way to go.
