SOS Children's Villages Ukraine

SOS Children’s Villages works around the world to make sure that no child grows up alone and unsupported. Our programmes strengthen families, keeping children with their parents; build loving families for children who need alternative care; and prepare young people for successful adulthood. SOS Children’s Villages Ukraine began to operate in 2003. Since then the organization has been implementing comprehensive programmes to support vulnerable children and families, protect children’s rights in Kyiv city, Kyiv and Luhansk regions, including areas, which have been affected by the military conflict. More than 90 000 children and adults got our comprehensive assistance. SOS Children’s Villages is the only organization in Ukraine that comprehensively addresses the issue of orphanhood, working not only with consequences, but on prevention as well. If it is not possible to preserve the biological family, we provide the full-fledged replacement, guided entirely by the interests of the child. We prepare children for independent life and support them after they leave care. The mission of SOS Children's Villages Ukraine: we ensure the right of every child to a loving family. We support vulnerable families and create a family environment for children who have lost it.
