The revolution in Tunisia, which started in December 2010, sparked media attention all around the globe.
A popular uprising drove out the Tunisian president and thus ended his rule of decades. The protests eventually marked the beginning of a new era. SOS Children's Villages has been supporting vulnerable young people and children in Tunisia by providing day care and education.
At present there are four SOS Children’s Villages in Tunisia, three SOS Youth Facilities, four SOS Kindergartens, four SOS Social Centres and a SOS mother and staff training centre.
SOS Children's Villages in Tunisia
Our organisation has been present in Tunisia since the 1980s. The first two SOS Children's Villages were opened in 1983.
Since 2006, SOS Children's Villages has been operating SOS Family Strengthening Programmes in order to help families to protect and care for their children. Strengthening family ties and enabling children who are at risk of losing parental care to grow up in a caring family environment has been one of our main goals.
At present, our organisation is supporting vulnerable young people and children in four different locations by providing day care, education and medical assistance. Children whose families cannot take care of them can find a loving home in one of the SOS families.
