The aim and objective of SOS Children’s Villages of India is to provide long term family based care to orphaned children and to strengthen disadvantaged families as a preventive measure against abandonment and social neglect of children.

We are a part of the worldwide SOS Children’s Village movement and a member of SOS Kinderdorf International, the umbrella organisation. SOS-India now constitutes the largest operations in the worldwide SOS movement spread in 132 countries. SOS Children’s Villages gives the children a closest alternative to a natural family i.e. a SOS family where they find a mother, brothers and sisters to grow up with.
