Your Legacy
The Oxford Dictionary defines the word ‘blessing’ as ‘a benefit for which one is grateful’. Most of us give and receive many blessings throughout our lives. But it seems to us, that the act of extending one’s love and generosity beyond our own mortal lifetimes to a motherless child halfway around the world is the most noble of blessings. This legacy gift is the purest generosity – the ultimate kindness.
Our official name is SOS Children's Villages Canada. We are a proud member of one of the world's largest and most respected charitable organizations dedicated to helping children for over 60 years, We have been a Canadian registered charity (#13824 7259 RR0001) since 1969.
