Background/About SOS Children’s Village Tanzania

SOS Children’s Village is an affiliate of the SOS Kinderdorf International – an umbrella worldwide child welfare charity, a non-governmental and non-denominational organization. We respect all religions and cultures and work with trusted partners in places where we can contribute to social development. SOS Children’s Villages works to prevent family breakdown and care for children who have lost parental care, or who risk losing it. We work with communities, partners and states to ensure that the rights of all children, in every society, are respected and fulfilled. SOS Children’s Villages supports families so that they can stay together, and parents can care for their children. We work closely with the authorities and the community, and jointly work out what assistance families need.
