SOS Children’s Villages in Botswana is a Non-Governmental Organisation that cares for children who have lost parental care or are at risk of losing it. Operations started in 1987 in Tlokweng and spread to Francistown in 1998, and  Serowe in 2008 in response to growing child protection needs of the country, hence over 30 years of existence in Botswana.

Every child is unique, and so is the way we work

We build families for children in need

We help them shape their own futures

We share in the development of their communities

 
We work for children who are orphaned, abandoned, or whose families are unable to care for them. We give these children the opportunity to build lasting relationships within a family. Our family approach in the SOS Children’s Village is based on four principles: Each child needs a mother and grows up most naturally with brothers and sisters, in their own house, within a supportive village environment.
With a presence in 3 villages and 9 programme locations across Botswana, our Children’s Villages offer children:

A Mother 

The SOS mother is crucial to the well-being of the children. She gives six to eight children her love, attention, and support. These locally hired and well-trained women give children more than just a home; they give them a family.

Brothers & Sisters 

Children of different ages grow up together under the care of their SOS mother. Biological siblings are kept together to establish stable, reliable relationships.


A Home

Each SOS family is given the security of a house they can call home. Children live according to their own culture and religion, enabling them to recognize and express their individual interests and talents.
