Our Impact
Everything we do is aimed at ensuring that children and young people without parental care or at risk of losing it grow up with the bonds they need to become their strongest selves. We work with children, young people and families, tailoring our services to the unique needs of individuals and communities. We partner with governments, corporations, individuals and institutions to have the greatest possible impact.
Over the past 35 years, SOS Children’s Villages in Mauritius has supported more than 5 000 children through the alternative care and over 12,000 children and 5000 families through the Family Strengthening programme.
