SOS Children’s Villages International is an independent non-governmental social development organisation currently operational in 135 countries and territories, including 14 countries in the Asia Region. At SOS we are committed to the welfare of children - often throughout the whole of their childhood - and to strengthening families and communities as a preventive measure in the fight against abandonment and social neglect.

With the SOS Children’s Village concept, our organisation pioneered a family approach to the long-term care of children who are at risk or deprived of parental care. We build families for children in need, we help them shape their own futures and we share in the development of their communities regardless of their ethnic roots, nationality and religion by giving them a family, a permanent home and a sound basis for an independent life through National SOS Children’s Village Associations. We have a strong Child Protection Policy and everyone in our organisation or associated is responsible to adhere to SOS Children Village International's Child Protection Policy.
