Who we are
SOS Children’s Villages Ethiopia is an International Non-governmental organization and a member of SOS Children’s Villages International Federation. The organization started its humanitarian work with the opening of its first Village in Mekelle, Northern part of Ethiopia in 1974. The organization has been providing life-saving provisions such as food, water and health services for a very significant number of children devastated by severe drought and the subsequent famine.
Today, we have grown significantly to meet the persistent challenges that confront Ethiopian children who have lost parental care and are at risk of losing their parental care. Working in close collaboration with international donors, local government and community based organizations across seven program locations; SOS Children’s Villages Ethiopia aspires that every child grows up with love, respect and security.
SOS Children’s Villages Ethiopia with the aim of addressing the child welfare crisis, has initiating childcare reform processes to better respond to children at risk of separation from parents and children without parental care. Such efforts include strengthening the gate-keeping mechanisms and facilitating reintegration of children back to their families of origin, embedded in the care reforms agenda. In response to this effort, SOS CVE has developed a Reintegration Project. The project will attempt to bridge the gap, explore cross-cutting principles of good practice in children’s reintegration; provides guidance and technical support, builds capacity, establish evidence to support responsible reintegration of children and young people back to their families and communities of origin.
