SOS Children's Villages is an independent, non-governmental, nonprofit international development organization headquartered in Innsbruck, Austria. The organization provides humanitarian and developmental assistance to families facing difficulties and supports children and young people without parental care or at risk of losing it. The organization also protects their interests and rights around the world.[1][2][3][4] Today, SOS Children's Villages is active in more than 130 countries and territories worldwide.[5][6]

SOS Children’s Villages offers alternative care options for children and young people.

Additionally, SOS Children’s Villages advocates together with – and on behalf of – children and young people who have lost parental care or are at risk of losing it.

SOS Children's Villages relies on contributions from governments and private donors.[7] In 2017, the organization's 350 institutional partnership contracts totaled more than €31 million in institutional funds implemented. Funding from foundations and lotteries totaled nearly €48 million, and corporate partnerships provided more than €49 million in support for SOS Children's Villages globally.[5] The organization was awarded the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize[8] in 2002, and the Princess of Asturias Award of Concord in 2016.[9]
