The SOS Africa Children's Charity is a grassroots child sponsorship organisation which invests 100% of your donation in the education and care of African children. Since 2003 we have provided disadvantaged children, from grades 1 to 12, with a personal education programme or learning support scheme tailored specifically to their needs. This holistic approach enables children to break the cycle of poverty and reach their full potential.
SOS Children's Villages UK protects unsupported children worldwide. We offer children made parentless by conflict, poverty, disease and disaster the chance to grow up in a safe and nurturing family environment, with a parent and siblings who care for them, quality education and healthcare. Our community programmes support at-risk families and help reduce family breakdown, child abandonment and neglect. In times of conflict and disaster, we protect at-risk children, giving them a safe space where they can receive food, shelter, healthcare, education, trauma counselling and a chance to regain their childhood by playing and making friends.
