SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES

SOS Children’s Villages works to protect children who have lost parental care, or who are at risk of losing it. It works with communities, partners and governments to ensure the rights of all children, in every society, are fulfilled.

 

“Dufry is very pleased to contribute to the TRBusiness initiative to support SOS Children Villages, which we have been partnering with already for nine years to strengthen families worldwide, with the aim that no child should grow up alone,” says Julián Díaz, CEO, Dufry Group.

 

The first SOS Children’s Village was founded by Hermann Gmeiner in Tyrol, Austria, in 1949. As a child welfare worker, Gmeiner saw how children orphaned as a result of World War II suffered. He was committed to helping them by building loving families and supportive communities.

With the generous support of donors, child sponsors, partners and friends, Gmeiner’s vision of providing loving care in a family environment for children without parental care, and of helping families stay together so they can care for their children, has grown steadily over six decades.

 

Today, SOS Children’s Villages is active in 135 countries and territories around the world, helping hundreds of thousands of children each year through alternative care, family strengthening, schools, health centres, and other community-based work.

 

“As a non-denominational and apolitical charity, we always respect the religions and cultures of the local communities where we work,” says the charity.

 

“We believe that the best way to help more children attain better living conditions and life outcomes is to encourage decision-making authorities to develop policy that protects the rights of children.”
