SOS Children’s Villages helps children worldwide
What we take for granted does not exist for many children worldwide: growing up – without child poverty, wars or hunger crises. The breakup of families has fatal consequences for children and the society in which they live. They are deprived of their rights to basic services, protection, education and medical care. These children suffer from neglect and hunger and are exposed to violence and exploitation.
This is how we help poor children
SOS Children’s Villages’ projects focus on the long-term development of every child – including care, health and education – so that they can master the challenges of life independently as adults. To make this possible, we create the necessary conditions for children in need in a family environment with reliable relationships and individual support from dedicated specialists.
SOS Children’s Villages provides emergency humanitarian aid in the event of a disaster, but clearly focuses on long-term aid and development cooperation.
Zewo certification guarantees donors that the funds are used transparently and effectively.
