By sponsoring an SOS village community, you also support the wider community. A village sponsorship pays for carers and teachers, school books, uniforms and food, as well as providing access to good healthcare, clean water and building maintenance. It also funds community projects including our family strengthening programmes which help families in the wider area to stay together. Many of the children we care for have had difficult life experiences and for those children with specific needs, we provide trauma counselling and psychological support.
