Thousands of children in Israel grow up without some of the most basic and essential things every child needs to thrive: love, a sense of safety, stability, and a warm home where they feel they belong. Many children face significant risks without adequate family support or a trusted adult who can provide security, guidance and stability. For some, home is not a safe place. They have been removed from their homes due to abuse or violence, or because their parents are unable to provide the care and conditions they need to grow and develop.
For more than 40 years, SOS Children’s Villages Israel has been there for children and young people who need a home, a nurturing framework and a strong support system. Through our children’s villages, day centers, transitional apartments and range of programs, we provide much more than a safe place to stay. We provide stability, belonging, opportunities and meaningful relationships with adults who see them, believe in them and stand beside them throughout their journey.
We believe that a safe and nurturing childhood is the foundation from which a child can grow. That is why we provide children and young people with the support they need: a safe place to grow, emotional support, educational assistance, enrichment activities, meaningful experiences and opportunities to discover their strengths and potential. We also accompany them on their journey toward adulthood and independence, helping them develop the skills and confidence they need to build their lives and their future.
Our work is made possible through close cooperation with welfare services and through the support of partners and donors – companies and businesses, individuals, philanthropic foundations and organizations – who choose to be part of this journey. Their partnership enables us to provide children not only with what they need today, but also with the opportunity to imagine a different tomorrow, and to know that there are people who believe in them and in their ability to reach it.
Because, ultimately, every child needs someone who sees them, a place where they feel safe, and the knowledge that they are not alone.
We invite you to join us in giving children and young people without a strong family support system something truly essential: the opportunity to grow with a sense of safety and belonging, discover the strengths within them, and build lives filled with meaning, independence and hope.
To provide every child with a warm home, security, and love – the foundation for all growth and development
Building Trust
The trust we build with one another enables us to learn, grow and provide the best possible support to the children in our care. At the same time, we are committed to transparency, accountability and integrity in our relationships with donors and partners, united by a shared goal: ensuring the well-being of the children and providing them with professional, high-quality care to the highest standards.
We Keep Our Promises
For us, commitment means being there for the long term, keeping our word and acting with responsibility, consistency and dedication. This is how we provide children and young people with stability and security, while building lasting relationships with our donors and partners based on trust, transparency and mutual commitment.
Leading Change
We have always believed in listening to the changing realities of Israeli society and adapting our work to meet evolving needs. We embrace new challenges, take initiative, innovate and continuously strive to improve — so that we can provide children with the support they need, today and into the future.
A Home Built on Love
A sense of family is at the heart of everything we do. Where a child has experienced loss, we create a stable, nurturing family environment and provide the foundations every child needs: security, support, warmth and love. We foster a sense of belonging and meaningful connections, remaining a trusted source of support throughout their journey.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up
