SOS Children´s Villages International

SOS Children’s Villages International (hereinafter SOS CVI) is a non-governmental organisation focused on supporting children and young people without parental care or at risk of losing it. It was founded in 1949 and operates in 135 countries and territories. SOS CVI provides alternative care services for children without parental care and works with families and communities to prevent child-family separation.

SOS Children’s Villages Ukraine is an independent legal body and a member of the federation SOS Children’s Villages International. It was registered on 28.02.2006 in the Unified state register of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and public organizations of Ukraine. SOS Children’s Villages is one of the few organizations in Ukraine that comprehensively approaches the problem of orphanhood, working not only with the consequences, but also with prevention — by supporting vulnerable families. If the preservation of the family is not possible, then a full-fledged replacement in alternative care is provided, guided exclusively by the interests of the child.
