SOS Children's Village is a global organization that provides care and support for children who are orphaned or unable to live with their families. Founded in 1949 by Hermann Gmeiner, the organization creates a nurturing environment where children can grow up in a family-like setting. Each village consists of several family houses, where trained caregivers raise children as their own. In addition to providing a home, SOS Children's Village offers education, healthcare, and emotional support to help children develop into self-sufficient adults. The organization operates in over 130 countries, ensuring that vulnerable children receive the love and care they need to thrive.
