Natural disasters, famines and wars affect the weakest first and foremost: these are the children. Therefore, SOS Children’s Villages provide emergency relief for children and families.
SOS relief operations always start from the SOS Children’s Village in the respective country.
This ensures quick, efficient and sustainable help: Local SOS workers are oftentimes among the first helpers in a disaster area. They know a country and its people and thus the cultural and national distinctions that can often cause problems for foreign relief teams. SOS Children’s Villages coordinate the actions with local and national authorities and work together with other relief organizations.
