Every year, life-changing support is given to children and families across the country through its Family-like Care and Family Strengthening programmes:
The Family-like Care model comprises of four principles that include a mother (each child has a caring parent), brothers and sisters (the family ties grow naturally), a house (a secure place to grow up in) and a village (the SOS family is part of the community).
Family Strengthening is focused on working with disadvantaged families to prevent crises that lead to family breakdowns — offering various forms of support to build the skills and capacity of parents, SOS families, social workers and other caregivers in the community.
Above all, SOS Children’s Villages puts each individual child’s needs first, to ensure they enjoy positive and caring relationships.
