SOS Children's Villages

Overall Mission and Vision

We build families for children in need.
We help them shape their own futures.
We share in the development of their communities.
(Mission statement of SOS Children's Villages)

SOS Children's Villages provides a family for life for children who have lost their parents through war, famine, disease and poverty. Over 78,000 orphaned and abandoned children are cared for by SOS mums in clusters of family homes in more than 490 of our unique Children's Villages in 124 countries worldwide. Thousands more children benefit from SOS Children's outreach support which includes education, vocational training, medical care and community development programmes. SOS Children also provides emergency relief in situations of crisis and disaster, and continues to support families in earthquake and tsunami-affected countries.
