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 is seeking to implement a new project which focuses on Street Children’s in three cities namely Addis Ababa, Adama and Diredawa. The aim of the project is to transform and empower children who work and live on the streets of those cities by employing an integrated intervention that mixes outreach services, family tracing and reintegration, skills development and creating community based sustainable solutions targeting systems, structures, and policies related to children in street situations. This includes direct work with children in street situations, adult caregivers, and young persons as a strategy to address the situation of street children.
