What You Should Know About SOS Children’s Villages Jordan
About SOS Children’s Villages Jordan
Since 1983, SOS Children’s Villages Jordan has been caring for children and youth who have lost parental care or are at risk of losing it, through family houses, community houses, and youth houses both inside and outside its villages in Amman, Irbid, and Aqaba.
Our care model is unique; as it includes providing Care, Accommodation, Education, Skills, Protection, Social inclusion, Food Security, Physical Health, Livelihood, and Social and Emotional Well-being. Additionally, the organization continues its support to youth up to the age of 24 guiding them toward independence.
In addition to its integrated care model, the association launches programs such as Family Strengthening, which aims to prevent family breakdown; Family Reintegration, which focuses on reintegrating children with their families; and Safe Homes, providing shelter and empowerment services for women survivors of domestic violence and their children. These programs collectively work to empower families to care for their children, ensuring the best interests of the child.
With your support and the support of partners, we will continue to develop our services and help children and youth build the future they deserve.
