Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To see that every child belongs to a family and grows with love, respect and security
Our Mission
We build families for children in need.
Children that have already lost the care of their parents find a new SOS family in an SOS village; and we support and strengthen families, with children facing a significant risk of losing the care of their parents, to prevent family disintegration.
WE HELP THEM SHAPE THEIR OWN FUTURES
We enable children to live according to their own culture and religion and to be active members of the community. We help children to recognize and express their individual abilities, interests and talents. We ensure that children receive the education and skills training that they need to be successful and contributing members of society.
Interventions:
- Breaking the cycle of child vulnerability through care.
- Securing basic needs.
- Building a foundation for a happy life.
- Enabling self-reliance.
