About SOS Children's Villages Canada
SOS Children’s Villages is an international children's charity that provides safe and nurturing family homes to more than 70,000 abandoned and neglected children in over 130 countries and territories.
With over 550 SOS Children’s Villages worldwide, we provide abandoned and neglected children with a family and a loving home with an SOS mother who cares for and supports them in a safe environment where their needs for food, healthcare, shelter, education, and love are met.
To prevent child abandonment, SOS Children’s Villages strengthens vulnerable families through skills training, economic empowerment, and community development, helping them achieve self-sufficiency.
Since 1949, SOS Children’s Villages has been guided by a basic principle: a loving home for every child. Today, we are the world's largest children's charity dedicated to supporting abandoned and neglected children.
