SOS Children’s Villages
25 years of activity in Romania
70 years of activity worldwide
Facts in Romania:
Children who don’t attend school - 92,000 (source: UNICEF, 2011)
Children with parents working abroad - 80,036 (source: ANPDCA, 31.12.2013)
Cases of child abuse - 12,192 (source: ANPDCA, 31.12.2013)
Children at risk of poverty or social exclusion - 52% (source EUROSTAT, 2014)
By taking direct action and working with partners, SOS Children’s Villages
Romania supports families and their children in the communities. When
children can no longer live with their own families, SOS provides premium
alternative care.
We continue our support until the children are ready to become
independent adults.
