War, poverty, disease or natural disasters endanger the stability of families. Many children suffer from it. They are often on their own, end up on the streets and are victims of exploitation, child labour or child trafficking. These children need your sponsorship!

SOS Children’s Villages Ethiopia, work to prevent child abandonment and provide a loving home for children in need. Through our sponsorship program, we provide the chance for people to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children. We coordinate supports from kind-hearted people like you and make sure that children live in a loving family environment.
