Every child belongs to a family and grows with love, respect and security.
The SOS Children’s Villages of Lesotho was initiated in the early 1990’s. The Kingdom of Lesotho, like many countries of the world, has a growing number of orphaned, abandoned and neglected children.
We take action for children as an independent non-governmental social development organisation. We respect varying religions and customs. We work in the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the rights of the Child. With the SOS Children’s Village concept our organisation pioneered a family approach to the long-term care of orphaned and abandoned children.
