A crisis writ large across Africa
More than 14 million children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. Many of these live in Sub-Saharan Africa. By 2010, the number of children orphaned by AIDS is expected to exceed 25 million.
A two pronged solution for Southern Africa
We plan to build 19 new SOS Villages in 2007, with many more to come. But the scale of the orphan crisis prompts us to respond with outreach programmes too. We want to help the children in communities around our Villages; children being looked after by failing grandparents; children being raised by older siblings in child-headed households' children caring for dying parents.
Soccer's charity
SOS Canada was honored to be named the official charity of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada 2007, with the campaign Let's Play, Let's Build. We have committed to raising the funds to build an SOS Village in Ondangwa, Namibia and family strenghtening outreach programs for Ondangwa and Rustenburg South Africa.
