SOS Children’s Village - اخرى
SOS Children’s Villages International was founded in 1949 as an independent, non-governmental, non-profit social organization. It has been operating in Palestine since 1966, focusing on the social development of orphaned, deprived, and abandoned children. The organization provides them with full and comprehensive care through an innovative, long-term family-based approach—from childhood until self-reliance—while respecting their roots and religious, cultural, and social backgrounds. SOS Children’s Villages also applies a strict Child Protection Policy to ensure a safe family-like environment for every child.
