MISSION: To build families for children in need, help them shape their futures, and share in the development of their communities.
“ I can remember always playing soccer with brothers and living as a normal child, surrounded by my siblings, being taken care of by my SOS mother, and going to school and enjoying life.”
Michael Yaw, SOS Tamale, Ghana Alumnus
SOS Mothers are professionally trained local women who form family ties with every child, always respecting each child’s cultural and religious roots.
SOS Siblings of different ages live together, biological brothers and sisters stay within the same SOS family, and families build lifelong emotional bonds.
SOS Homes, managed by each SOS mother with oversight and support of the village, provide children with a sense of security and belonging.
SOS Villages form a supportive environment where children enjoy happy childhoods, help each other, and contribute to the larger local community. Family strengthening programs further assist communities by preventing child abandonment.
THE SOS MODEL Of CARE IS fOUNDED ON fOUR PRINCIPLES:
“ As a soon-to-be new mother, my belief that every child needs a supportive and protective family environment has only been enhanced. I am proud to support an organization that makes it possible to turn this belief into reality.”

“ My joy is that, by discovering SOS Children’s Villages, I have found an organization that somehow seems to multiply the funds they are given for the benefit of the children. SOS is like no other charitable organization I have ever been involved with. My overriding thought is: With most organizations, I wonder where the money went. With SOS , I wonder how they do it with the money they receive.”
