Family Based Care Programme at SOS Children`s Village Facilities

In each SOS Children Village we give a permanent home in a family

environment to vulnerable children.

Each child is looked after by an SOS mother, and grows up in an SOS family

with 10 boys and girls in a natural setting.

The care given is holistic as all the children’s needs including food, clothing, education, medical services and others

are met.

proficient child-centred programmes in Kakiri, Entebbe, Gulu and Fort Portal

SOS CV values Company Values

Reliability: Children need reliable caretakers in order to develop. Constant and reliable also describes the relation that SOS CV has with its supporters and partners.

Sustainability: social and ecological sustainability means maintaining the quality of life for future generations.

Trust: “It is easy to do good, if a lot of people help.” was the motto of Hermann Gmeiner. We trust that people can move and change things if they work together.

Unity: Companies rely on the competencies of their employees and business partners. The collaboration of all parties is the key to innovation and growth.

Safety: Our Children usually come from unstable environments. We provide them with a solid basis for development supported with love and responsibility.

Responsibility: Companies are becoming more aware of their social responsibility towards the community. This way they are able to contribute to the wellbeing of the community.

Diversity: As an international organization we live individuality and diversity and are enriched by every child and every community where we exist.

Internationality: A company that is able to make use of the diversity and different backgrounds of its co-workers will be able to address the various needs of clients.

Openness: We offer our children safety, also financially. Being open about how we operate is hence vital.

Transparency: Consumers request that companies become more transparent. Being open internally and externally creates trust.

Dignity: We don’t look down on children. By valuing children as individuals we help them gain their dignity.

Respect: A company that respects its employees and business partners will also benefit from financial gains due to the increased reputation. Corporate citizenship is a win-win situation for all parties involved.

Professional competency: We secure the quality of our caretakers through continuous control and on-going development of our standards. Hence, we ensure that children are supported in their development in a professional and goal-oriented manner.

Professionalism: A company’s success depends on many factors. High quality work and products and the ability to adapt to change are some of these factors.
