About SOS Children's Villages

SOS Children's Village is the largest organization devoted to the care of orphaned and vulnerable children. With 545 villages in more than 130 countries and territories, including the United States, SOS Children's Villages is helping to raise over 82,000 children worldwide. 

Founded in 1949, SOS Children's Villages provides children with stable, loving homes and families, access to quality education and medical  services, and gives each child the attention and guidance needed until they become independent adults.

In addition to our award winning family based care, SOS Children's Villages provides holistic family strengthening services to prevent family separation and, whenever possible, reunify children with their families or caregivers. SOS also operates youth facilities, schools, vocational training centers and heath facilities to help strengthen vulnerable communities. Through these additional programs, SOS impacts the lives of over 1 million people each year.
