SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES – www.sos-usa.org
This is the world’s largest charity dedicated to orphaned, exploited and abandoned children. We were amazed by the family-based model which gives each child a “home” with a “mother” and “brothers and sisters”. There are already 500 Villages in 132 countries serving 80,000 children. Children are orphaned every day by the thousands. For just $1 per day, you can sponsor a child who calls SOS Children’s Villages home.
