SOS Children is the world’s largest orphan charity.  Our children’s charity believes all children should belong to a family which is why we build villages for children in need, help them shape their own futures and share in the development of their communities. 

Sponsors and donors support our work caring for over 60,000 children currently live in our 450 unique SOS Children’s Villages in 123 countries – we work in 10 countries in South America. Children who are alone; Aids orphans, street children, child soldiers and children orphaned by war, poverty or natural disasters like the earthquake in Peru. Thanks to SOS schools and skills training, children are able to become successful contributing members of society. We run programmes supporting a further million in the community through vital medical aid, training and counseling which helps to keep families together and help prevent child abandonment.



Your help ensures we are able to help give children a family for life.
