Finalist Profile #17 – SOS Children’s Villages

Today we will be profiling the last of our HOUSE finalists: SOS Children's Villages What will they do with the $15,000? SOS Children’s Villages will give beds and safe homes to 120 children in Niger, Africa who have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDs and other devastating circumstances. What do they do?  SOS Children's Villages is the largest charity dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children with 500 villages in 132 countries worldwide. In a Children’s Village, they are nurtured and supported by an SOS Mother and other children in their SOS home who become their SOS brothers and sisters. Strong bonds develop within these "SOS families", and even after the children are grown and leave the village, these family relationships endure. SOS children have the benefit of a stable, loving family environment that provides the necessities of life such as clothing, meals, medical care and a high-quality education. Children remain in their SOS home within an SOS Village until they are prepared to create lives for themselves as independent adults To learn more or to cast your vote, click here.
