Our charity exists to help orphans, vulnerable children and children at risk of abandonment to lead a full life by providing a home, a family and a mother by way of our SOS villages or a family strengthening programme. We also provide education and medical care for a much larger group and emergency relief when required (given that we are present in 132 countries worldwide).
