Annual Reports

For over 55 years, we’ve helped protect and uplift the most vulnerable children and young people, but today the need has never been greater.

SOS Children’s Villages Canada, founded in 1969, is a member of the world’s largest charitable federation focused on supporting children and young people without parental care, or at risk of losing it, operating in more than 130 countries and territories.

In 2024, hundreds of millions of people experienced new and ongoing crises as violence and climate change events wrought havoc while economies struggled to rebound from years of record-high inflation. The number of conflicts is at an all-time high in over eight decades, resulting in over 470 million children – more than one in six globally – now living in conflict-affected areas. The need to protect and uplift vulnerable children and young people remains critical and is increasing every day.

Together with partners, supporters and the communities in which we work, SOS Children’s Villages is responding to these significant challenges worldwide with a clear mission: keep children safe, healthy and thriving, enabling them to become their strongest selves.

Locally led, we work to strengthen families under pressure so they can stay together. When this is not in a child or young person’s best interests, we provide quality care according to their unique needs. We speak up for each child’s rights and advocate for change so all children can grow up in a supportive environment. And we couldn’t do it without you.
