Child protection is a top priority, and the SOS Children's Villages have developed a comprehensive child protection action plan to identify and address grievances.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSustainability is a central component of the work of the SOS Children's Villages. The organization has demonstrated that every donated euro can create added value of up to 14 euros on the ground, especially in Africa. This sustainable impact has been proven in a long-term study conducted in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group. Furthermore, the SOS Children's Villages are actively engaged in climate protection, recognizing the effects of the climate crisis on children and future generations as particularly threatening. They advocate for the needs and rights of children to be considered in the fight against climate change.
Child Protection and Transparency
editThe SOS Children's Villages are committed to transparency and the continuous improvement of their child protection measures. An independent expert commission has been established to address past incidents and provide recommendations for an improved structure of national oversight. The organization works closely with international partners to ensure that violations of child protection are consistently investigated and prevented.
Partnerships and Engagement
editThe SOS Children's Villages are always looking for new partners to support their mission. Companies and foundations have the opportunity to participate through donations or active involvement in projects. The organization offers a variety of cooperation opportunities to jointly create a better future for children.
