SOS Children's Villages 

A Family Based Care Model for Raising Children 

SOS Children's Villages is convinced that children can only develop to their full potential if they have a supportive and protective family environment.

This is why SOS Children's Villages offers family-based care for children who have lost their parents or who cannot be raised in their biological family. We take into account each child’s individual needs by keeping their past and specific abilities in mind.

Our goal is to provide stable and reliable relationships and an environment of support to all our children.
