Make a Change: Sponsor a Child
Families experiencing crisis or extreme hardships may have difficulty caring adequately for their children, and often, this can lead to child abandonment. Our preventive measure whereby the families belonging to the most vulnerable sections of the society, those who are lost in the quagmire of poverty, social discrimination and are facing many other challenges to make ends meet are strengthened to avoid abandonment of children. Such families often belong to the below poverty line category and are caught up in the vicious cycle of economic, socio and cultural deprivations.
Under these circumstances sponsoring a child is the best way to make a lasting impact on the life of a child in need. By becoming a sponsor, you can help provide children with basic necessities they need to thrive and reach their full potential. By virtue of which, you will have the opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with them. Your sponsorship will provide the child with access to education, healthcare and other basic needs that they may not have had otherwise.
Through our regular updates and communications, you get to see for yourself, how your support is making a difference in the life of the child you sponsor. You can watch them grow and develop into a healthy, confident and independent individual.
Committed to provide a caring family to every child without parental care or in the process of losing parental care, our Family Like Care and Family Strengthening Programme provides an innovative care model for children who have lost their families or are about to lose them; enabling them to grow up with love, respect and security, to realise their full potential.
Your donation will ensure that every child has a right to be nurtured so that they may reach their full potential to become self-reliant and responsible citizens.
When you sponsor a child, you will receive
- Satisfaction of helping a child in need
- Tax benefits under sec 80G
- Child Profile and updates from SOS Children’s Villages India
- Our magazine 'SOS Happynings ' every quarter

Enabling the continuum of Education for a better today and a brighter tomorrow
No child should be at the risk of losing parental care and every child has a right to be nurtured so that they may reach their full potential. Around the world, children are deprived of education and learning for various reasons. Poverty remains one of the most obstinate barriers. Children living through economic fragility are more likely to be cut off from schooling. Thousands of children in the country who are unable to go to school, are deprived of education and growth opportunities for them to become contributing members of the society and lead a happy life. Many of them are working in harsh conditions to earn a living, while others are falling into the darkness of crime and substance abuse.
Our Family Strengthening Programme in India aims to strengthen families to become self-reliant and reach greater dignity by ensuring holistic development of their children, building capacities and income generating skills of their caregivers. With the key objective of promoting education, SOS Children’s Villages India works towards ensuring that all children are in schools and reducing the risk of drop outs especially during the transition phase. The focus of SOS India’s education programme is on the enrolment (access), retention, quality, remedial support, skills development and capacity development of caregivers.
Depending upon the categories of school going children - like children who have never been to school, children who are irregular attendees, school drop-outs, specific interventions are being planned which will primarily focus on academic support, counselling and mentoring, leading to better outcomes.
Another integral part of this programme is our Bal Panchayat (Children's Parliament) model that gives young ones a collective voice through a democratic platform at the grassroots.Regular awareness programmes on the importance of education through various mediums such as nukad-nataks/ street plays, video shows, songs, IEC materials, etc. are organised for the caregivers.
Without quality education, children face considerable barriers to employment and earning potential later in life. The education and tuition support provided by SOS Children’s Villages India has not only helped preventing the disruption of education, but also encouraged children to continue learning, no matter what.’
Join hands with us to ensure that underprivileged children can break free of the vicious cycle of poverty, ignorance and suffering by the ray of education. Donate for Education!

Helping vulnerable families to become self-reliant to afford quality care for their children
Strengthening families and communities so they can adequately care for their children. SOS Children's Villages of India’s Family Strengthening Programme (FSP) empowers vulnerable families and communities including widows, single women or below poverty line families so that they can adequately care for their children.

Our Family Strengthening Programme helps us to keep the biological families together and touches the lives of nearly 35000 children across 32 locations. Self help groups (SHGs) are a key element of the programme that empower caregivers towards attaining self-reliance, and thereby securing financial independence, enhancing self-worth and enabling wholesome childcare and development.
