SOS Children's Villages is a global organization dedicated to supporting children who are orphaned or abandoned. Founded in 1949 by Hermann Gmeiner, it provides a stable and loving environment for children in need. The organization operates in over 130 countries, offering family-like care, education, and healthcare to help children thrive. The primary focus of SOS Children's Villages is to create a nurturing home for each child, where they can grow up with siblings and a dedicated caregiver. In addition to residential care, the organization also promotes community-based programs to support families and prevent child abandonment, ensuring that children have a safe and secure future.
