Mission Statement

Our mission is: Every child has a right to belong to a family and grows up with love, respect and security. We build families for children in need, we help them shape their own futures, and we share in the development of their communities. Every child needs someone who stands by them and believes in them, no matter what. SOS Children’s Villages is here for those children who are growing up without the care and support they need. Our quality care puts their individual needs and best interests first and foremost, and provides a nurturing and stable environment in a foster family. With strong and healthy relationships, each child and young person can grow up with the trust and sense of belonging that is essential for them to become their strongest selves.
