SOS Children’s Villages International

SOS Children's Villages International is a global non-governmental organization dedicated to the care and protection of children without parental care and those at risk of losing it. Established in 1949, the organization has a significant presence in Somalia, where it focuses on providing family-based care, education, and health services to vulnerable children and their communities. The organization operates several SOS Children's Villages and youth facilities across the country, particularly in regions like Baidoa, where it addresses the urgent needs of children affected by conflict and poverty. The mission of SOS Children's Villages is to ensure that every child grows up in a loving family environment, with access to education and healthcare. In Somalia, the organization works closely with local communities and partners to implement programs that promote child welfare, strengthen families, and empower youth. Through its various initiatives, SOS Children's Villages aims to create sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for children and families, fostering resilience and self-sufficiency in the face of ongoing challenges.
