About

SOS Children's Villages arrived in Burkina Faso in the 1990s. In 1997, SOS Children's Villages started its work ten kilometres north of the country's capital. Since 2004, the organisation has also been running SOS Family Strengthening Programmes aiming to protect and support children who are at risk of losing the care of their family so that they can continue to grow up in their families of origin.

At present, SOS Children's Villages is supporting Burkinabe children and young people in two different locations by providing day care, education and medical assistance. Children whose families can no longer take care of them can find a loving home in one of the SOS families.

During the 2009 flooding, SOS Children's Villages initiated an SOS Emergency Relief Programme in order to help the victims.
