SOS Villages are a positive environment designed to help children reach their full potential. Clusters of individual homes share recreational facilities and administrative offices, creating a true sense of community. But the real strength of the Village lies in the collective power of foster parents, staff, and the surrounding community to help children find new hope and trust. With a stable home, caring siblings, and a loving foster parent, the children can have happy childhoods and grow into caring, responsible, self-supporting adults.

“Raising children is probably the hardest job in the world, and doing it in isolation is even harder. Many more things can be provided as part of a community.” SOS foster parent
