Sponsor a Child in Mexico

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.

Here are just a few of the times SOS have provided critical support:

- Providing aid after the serious earthquake in and around Mexico City in 1985.
- Helping refugees in the Mexican State of Chiapas.
- Construction of a children’s village 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.
- Support following the floods and landslides in Haiti in 2004 and the Haiti earthquake in 2010.
- Direct support on the ground following the earthquake that struck Chile in March 2010.

But the most important work that SOS do is working every day to improve the lives of children and communities around the world. By sponsoring a child you can help to ensure that they are able to keep doing so.
