SOS Children's Villages

There are more than a half a million abused and neglected children in the U.S. Foster Care system. For some of these kids, traditional foster care works well, but not for them all. Some kids stay in a kind of foster-care limbo for years, moving from one home to another, with no chance to bond or form attachments. Usually siblings are separated from each other.

SOS Children's Villages is a postive alternative to the status quo. Founded in 1949 to provide families for orphaned and abandoned children, SOS Children's Villages are dedicated to giving children a permanent family and a home they can call their own.

With over 450 Villages in 132 countries worldwide, SOS Families make the committment to raise several children as a family unit until the children become young adults. Each village is made up of about 10 families. These families/communities are dedicated to creating an environment where the children can grow, heal, and feel safe and loved.
