What leads to SOS Childrens Villages becoming active in a new country?
The first initiative may come from a government, embassy, or individual with a special connection to the country in question and in-depth knowledge of the social situation, particularly when it comes to children. In some cases, an SOS Children’s Villages co-worker might bring the special plight in a particular country to the organisation’s attention. A sudden emergency, such as war, natural disaster, or famine might also lead to SOS-Kinderdorf International offering help, usually by way of an SOS Emergency Relief Programme. Such temporary programmes might, in many cases, lead to SOS Children’s Villages and/or other permanent facilities being established in the country.
