In addition to supporting SOS families, the association helps families in crisis situations, trains foster and adoptive parents, guardians, and host families, and ensures long-term support for children’s growth in a safe and caring environment.
It is part of the International SOS Children’s Villages Organization, which operates in more than 130 countries worldwide.
