The families moved-in with the house warming ceremony in 1994. At present 127 children are in the 14 families and 122 have been integrated successfully into the society.

 

 

While the SOS Youth Facility for Boys, the SOS Kindergarten and the SOS Vocational Training Centre are in the same campus, the SOS Youth Facility for Girls is situated four km from the CV.
