SPONSOR A CHILD IN CHINA with SOS Children’s Villages who provide homes and families for orphan children in 10 Chinese cities. |
China is one of the largest economies in the world and the nation’s wealth has dramatically in recent decades. However, much of the wealth is concentrated in the Pacific Rim cities and poverty and daily struggle remain the reality for many rural Chinese citizens. SOS Children’s Villages provides orphaned children in China with a new mother, a family and a home where they can stay until they are ready for independent life (each family house can give a home to up to 12 children). The charity began its work in the country in 1986. It currently cares for more than 1,000 children at its ten purpose-built Children’s Villages, and a further 292 teenagers at its nine SOS Youth Homes, where young adults live while they complete their college studies or vocational training, and where they are taught the life skills needed for independent living. The SOS SPONSOR A CHILD CHINA programme supports over 1,000 Chinese children in 10 cities: Qiqihar – Heilongjiang province |
