SOS Children's Villages UK
SOS Children’s Villages believes that children in crisis deserve more from life than the basics for survival such as food, water and shelter. Children everywhere have the right to grow up feeling loved, safe and supported and are entitled to a happy childhood. Young people deserve to be able to build a better future for themselves. We work with children and families living through poverty, conflict, man-made and natural disasters to ensure children have the childhood and the life they deserve. We invest in children’s futures, supporting young people to transition to employment and independence through vocational training and career development. By supporting them to grow into resilient and independent adults who can contribute to their communities, we are helping to bring about positive and lasting change. SOS Children’s Villages is present in 136 countries and territories around the world. Our programmes support children, young adults, families and communities to thrive.
