Strengthened Families

SOS seeks to ensure that the family structure is strengthened in such a way that there are less or absolutely no vulnerable children being left to fend on their own. We ensure that no child is left to grow up alone by providing whenever necessary a family, siblings and a secure environment for vulnerable children to grow up in.

Education

SOS provides and supports structures necessary to educate vulnerable children to be able to fulfill their vocations and careers. We strive to ensure they become responsible adults who are contributing in turn to the development of their own community. SOS runs kindergartens, lower & upper basic schools plus skills training centres for practical self sustenance in adulthood.

Care

 SOS Children’s Villages The  Gambia  provides alternative care for children in need ( Children without adequate parental care and those at risk of using parental care. We have 32 years of experience in offering longer-term alternative care based on a family-like care model, which we call SOS family care, and in other alternative forms of care such as foster care and small group homes. To find the best possible alternative care option for each individual child, we constantly innovate and improve our work with SOS families and use our experience and competence to explore relevant care solutions, together with partners. No other organisation has our depth of experience in providing alternative care in The  Gambia, and this experience informs our family strengthening and advocacy work for quality care .
