SOS Children's Villages - Indonesia

Unverified non-profit organisation

SOS Children’s Villages has been present in Indonesia since 1970, when it started working in Lembang. The work of the organisation has adapted to the changing needs of the people of Indonesia; in some areas emergency relief programmes were set up as a response to natural disasters or armed conflict. Many of these have led to more permanent support, and SOS Children’s Villages now supports children, young people and families in eight locations throughout the island state. At present there are eight SOS Children’s Villages in Indonesia, eight SOS Youth Facilities, eight SOS Kindergartens, one SOS Hermann Gmeiner School, two SOS Vocational Training Centre, eight SOS Social Centres and eight Family Strengthening Programmes. A ninth Children’s Village is currently under construction in Yogyakarta.
