SOS
Children's Villages is an independent,
non-governmental and social development
organization, which has been active in the field
of children's needs, concerns and rights since
1949. Its activities focus on neglected and
abandoned children and orphans, as well as
disadvantaged families. If a child cannot stay with his/her biological family, his/her right to care, protection and equal opportunities should still be guaranteed. This is the basic principle according to which SOS Children's Villages carries out its activities in 132 countries and territories. SOS Children's Villages makes it possible for children to be part of a family once again by providing family-based care.
Children are
taken into an SOS Children's Village if it is
likely or certain that they will not be able to
return to their biological families. In many
cases, preventive care to support and stabilize
families in times of crisis can mean that
families do not break up, and the threat of the
child being uprooted can be contained. This is
why, in addition to SOS Children's Villages,
there are various "family strengthening"
programmes and facilities, which offer targeted
promotion, support and advice for socially and
economically disadvantaged families at risk of
living in poverty.
SOS Children's Villages' commitment to bringing up the children in its care to the best of its ability until they are young adults requires additional investment in many regions of the world, not just to provide for the children's emotional stability, but also to prepare them thoroughly for independence. Kindergartens, schools and vocational training are an essential part of this. All educational and vocational training facilities are open to the public.
