SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGES

Polar First is delighted to support SOS Children’s Villages and we hope not only to raise funds for this fantastic charity, but also to raise awareness of the extraordinary work it does.

SOS Children's Villages cares for orphaned and abandoned children by giving them a mother, a family and a home until they are independent, in more than 430 custom-built villages in over 125 countries, with associated facilities providing education and health and social care for the wider community.

One of the largest child welfare organisations in the world and providing family-style care for orphaned and abandoned children who have no-one else to care for them, SOS Children’s Villages is based on the simple idea that every child needs a mother, a family and a home and to be part of a supportive community. Non-political and non-denominational, children are cared for regardless of race, creed, gender or politics.

Each village is a community of between ten and twenty family houses in which small groups of children grow up together like brothers and sisters, cared for by their specially trained SOS mother, until they are independent. Here they are given security and a real home and, for many of them, the first love they have ever known in their short lives.

SOS Children's Villages are not just homes for children.  Related projects include kindergartens, day nurseries, schools, vocational training centres, social welfare centres, clinics and medical centres.  All are open to local people as well, providing invaluable assistance and support for some of the world's poorest communities.
