SOS Children’s Villages is the world’s largest organization focused on ensuring that children and young people without parental care or at risk of losing it grow up with the care, relationships and support they need to become their strongest selves. 

They believe that truly bonding with a child has the power to change the world.

VISION

Every child belongs to a family and grows up with love, respect and security. Families come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, including foster families, extended families, and kinship care. However, what truly matters is that children and young people have a sense of belonging, of being surrounded and supported by individuals who care for them, whom they can rely on and trust, who believe in them, and who are available when they need someone the most. A nurturing and trustworthy relationship is the cornerstone of the kind of family environment they envision for every child and young person.

MISSION

They build families for children in need, they help them shape their own futures, and we share in the development of their communities. They are here for children and 

young people no matter their background, experience, culture, heritage, religion, sexual orientation, political alignment, gender, disability or origin. They are their priority and they do whatever it takes to ensure that they grow up empowered with trust and a feeling of belonging. Their work is adapted to local contexts and customs, as it must be in order for them to reach those who need their support.
