Ensuring the survival and development of the children

School money, seeds or a warm meal a day - often, very little is needed to take a first step towards easing misery and immediately ensuring that children survive and have a healthy development. Receiving the essentials, medical care or access to education are deciding factors for children when it comes to their prospects for the future. This is why SOS Children's Villages is helping disadvantaged families to provide for the basic needs of their children and establish equal rights in the field of education. Families receive, for example, regular visits and are given advice. Food parcels are provided, and school and medical fees are sometimes paid.
