SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGES CANADA/VILLAGES D'ENFANTS SOS CANADA

Founded in 1949, SOS Children’s Villages began with one main goal: to protect abandoned, abused and neglected children and provide them with safe, loving homes. SOS Children’s Villages envisions a world where every child grows up in a nurturing family with the love, respect, and security they need to thrive. We build families for children in need, help them shape their own futures, and share in the development of their communities – a mission that SOS Children’s Villages Canada has proudly supported with Canadians since 1969.

SOS Children’s Villages is the world’s largest non-governmental organization focused on supporting children and young people without parental care, or at risk of losing it. Protecting children and their rights in everything we do is always our priority. Millions of girls, boys, women and men in over 130 countries and territories are supported by the organization every year.

We take a holistic, child-centered approach to help children, families, and communities succeed in the long term. We strengthen families to prevent child abandonment, provide loving homes for children who lack parental care, educate and empower children to reach their full potential and advocate for children’s rights so their voices can be heard.
