2009-2010SOS Children's Villages, Nigeria
SOS Children's Villages run three SOS Children's Villages to provide for orphaned or abandoned children. A fourth Village is currently under construction. Children are given a home, a family and a new mother and they can stay until they are ready for independent life. We also run Family Strengthening Programmes in the country, which help children at risk of abandonment to stay in the caring environment of their own biological family. SOS Social Centres have also been established to provide community support, health counselling, training workshops, and psychological support to the local community. In addition to the above, SOS Children run nursery, primary and secondary schools (open to children from the villages as well as surrounding neighbourhoods). Through all of these facilities, we are currently reaching more than 22,700 Nigerians.
