  • Child Care Programme

    Each orphaned child that comes into the fold of the organisation is placed in one of its children’s villages spread across India. A village has twelve to fifteen homes each consisting of ten children living together as a family under the care of a mother figure. This SOS mother is entrusted with the responsibility to build close bonds with each child and runs the household independently.

    With other children around, it is like a family atmosphere where each child contributes and takes part in the joys and sorrows of the household, growing up to become contributing members of society. Its family strengthening programme helps underprivileged families living around the SOS villages by supporting poor parents with alternative options of income so that the child is never left abandoned in future.

Vision and Mission

Our VISION:

EVERY CHILD BELONGS TO A FAMILY
Family is the heart of society. Within a family each child is protected and enjoys a sense of belonging. Here, children learn values, share responsibilities and form life-long relationships. A family environment gives them a solid foundation on which to build their lives.

EVERY CHILD GROWS WITH LOVE
Through love and acceptance, emotional wounds are healed and confidence is built. Children learn to trust and believe in themselves and others. With this self-assurance each child can recognize and fulfill his or her potential.

EVERY CHILD GROWS WITH RESPECT
Each child’s voice is heard and taken seriously. Children participate in making decisions that affect their lives and are guided to take a leading role in their own development. The child grows with respect and dignity as a cherished member of his or her family and society.

EVERY CHILD GROWS WITH SECURITY
Children are protected from abuse, neglect and exploitation and are kept safe during natural disaster and war. Children have shelter, food, health care and education. These are the basic requirements for the sound development of all children.

Our MISSION:

The first SOS Children’s Village was founded by Hermann Gmeiner, an Austrian philanthropist , in 1949 in Imst, Austria. Since then, the organization has been active and expanding throughout the world. At present, SOS Children’s Villages is active in over 136 countries and territories with over 500 SOS Children’s Villages and 400 SOS Youth Facilities striving for the welfare of the children in need of care and protection.
In India, the organisation caters to over 25,000 children and there are 32 SOS Children’s Villages in 22 states in India.
As an independent non-governmental social development organisation:

We take action for children in need of care and protection.
We respect varying religions and cultures, and we work in communities where our mission can contribute to development.
We work in the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and we promote these rights through our flagship programmes, namely the Family Based Care and the Family Strengthening Programme.

With the SOS Children’s Village concept, our organisation has pioneered a family approach to the long-term care of orphaned and abandoned children in India.
