How we help

We work to ensure

A loving home for every child!

We help children in need

In doing so, we act quickly and unbureaucratically, actively engage and bring in our expertise as an international organization in a variety of ways. For example, in crisis housing groups, in counseling centers, outpatient clinics and aftercare, where children, adolescents and their families find what they urgently need: relief, support and the opportunity for a new perspective.

Family Based Care

SOS Children’s Villages builds families for orphaned, abandoned and other vulnerable children. When children cannot stay with their family or have no family, we give them a safe home, together with their siblings, where they can grow up in one of our SOS families.

The Mother

Each child has a caring parent

Brothers and Sisters

Family ties grow naturally

The House

Each family creates its own home

The Village

The SOS family is a part of the community

Family Strengthening Programme

We strengthen disadvantaged families to prevent crises that can in the worst case scenario lead to children being placed in out-of-home care. SOS Children's Villages supports families so they can once again manage their lives independently and care for their children.
