SOS Children’s Villages provides support in many locations: it holds courses, supports networks of families who help each other; it offers education opportunities, an employment service and loans, and it has nurseries and advice centres, which all improve the prospects for families and their children in the long term.

Natural disasters, emergencies and violent conflicts have in recent decades repeatedly required humanitarian intervention; permanent facilities have often resulted from theses emergency relief measures.

To mention just a few: aid after the serious earthquake in and around Mexico City in 1985; helping refugees in the Mexican State of Chiapas; a children’s village was built for orphans following the serious earthquake in Guatemala in 1976; emergency relief and construction of facilities in El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua following Hurricane Mitch in 1998; and support following the floods and landslides in Haiti in 2004 as well as the Haiti earthquake in 2010. In March 2010, an earthquake struck Chile with direct support on the ground.
