SOS Children's Villages is an international children's charity that offers safe and nurturing family homes to over 75,000 orphaned and abandoned children in 134 countries around the world. Through over 550 Children's Villages, SOS offers orphaned and abandoned children a family and a loving home with a mother to care and support them in a safe environment where their needs for food, health and shelter are met. SOS Children's Villages also keeps families together through skills training and community development to ensure self sufficiency and prevent child abandonment. Since 1949, SOS Children's Villages has been guided by a basic principle: a loving home for every child. We are the largest charity working with orphaned and abandoned children.
