== History ==
[[File:SOS Children's Villages.Kandalaksha.jpg|thumb|Children at SOS Children's Villages in Kandalaksha in [[Russia]]]]
The [[Second World War]] resulted in many children becoming homeless and orphaned. [[Hermann Gmeiner]] (23 June 1919 – 26 April 1986), who himself participated in the war as an Austrian soldier, founded the first SOS Children's Village in [[Imst]] in the Austrian Federal State of Tyrol in 1949 together with Maria Hofer, Josef Jestl, Ludwig Kögel, Herbert Pfanner, and Hedwig Weingartner.<ref name=":3">{{cite news |last1=James |first1=George |date=27 April 1986 |title=HERMANN GMEINER OF AUSTRIA, 66; ESTABLISHED SHELTERS FOR CHILDREN |newspaper=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/04/27/obituaries/hermann-gmeiner-of-austria-66-established-shelters-for-children.html}}</ref> Originally, the SOS Children's Village was established to look after the orphans of the Second World War. But later the organization eventually started looking after other children who had experienced abandonment, neglect, and abuse.<ref name=":3" />
[[File:Aldeas-sos-mdp.JPG|thumb|SOS Children's Villages in [[Argentina]]]]
In the second half of the 20th century, the organization spread all over [[Europe]]. In 1959, SOS Children's Villages national associations were established in [[Italy]], [[France]], and [[Germany]], and in the same year, the first SOS Children's Villages Youth Facility was founded in [[Innsbruck]], Austria. 
The first caregiver for SOS Children's Villages was the Austrian Maria Weber (1919–2011).
This first patron was [[Béatrice von Boch-Galhau]] (1914–2011). She financed the first SOS Children's Villages programme in Germany (Hilbringen / Saar) with her private assets and she used her political and business connections to promote the idea. As the organization grew, the umbrella organization '''SOS-Kinderdorf International''' was established to oversee all the national associations in the world in 1960. In the same year, the first SOS Children's Villages organization in [[South America]] was founded in [[Uruguay]]. In 1963, the organization reached [[Asia]] with the first programmes established in [[South Korea]] and [[India]]. Seven years later, the organization founded programmes in [[Africa]] in the [[Republic of Ivory Coast]], [[Kenya]], [[Ghana]], and [[Sierra Leone]].<ref name=":3" /> In [[North America]], the first programme was established in 1991 in the [[United States]]. Today, there are now more than 570 SOS Children's Villages programmes present in 135 countries and territories.<ref>{{cite web |title=SOS Children's Villages History |url=https://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/who-we-are/history |website=SOS Children's Village International}}</ref>

In 2006, the "''Colegio Internacional SOS Hermann Gmeiner''", in Santa Ana, [[Costa Rica]], re-opened as the [[United World College of Costa Rica]], becoming the 11th [[United World Colleges|United World College]] and the only UWC in Latin America and the Caribbean. Although no longer operating under the auspices of the SOS Children's Villages, the college continues to have a relationship with the organization, including a program of full scholarships for SOS Children's Villages students, with more than 50 SOS Children's Villages students having attended and graduated from the school.<ref>{{Cite web |title=UWC Costa Rica |url=https://www.uwc.org/uwc-costarica |website=United World Colleges}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=United World College Costa Rica |url=https://theexcelligent.com/article-9-1.html |access-date=2022-11-26 |website=The Excelligent}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-02-01 |title=Creating Young Agents of Change Through World-Class Education {{!}} UWC Costa Rica |url=https://theknowledgereview.com/uwc-costa-rica-creating-young-agents-of-change-through-world-class-education/ |access-date=2022-11-26 |website=The Knowledge Review |language=en-US}}</ref>

Hermann Gmeiner was the SOS Children's Villages president until 1985 when he was succeeded by Helmut Kutin. Helmut Kutin, born in 1941 in Bolzano, Italy, who was one of the first children admitted in SOS Austria, led the organization SOS Children's Villages International for 27 years after which in 2012, he was succeeded by Siddhartha Kaul, born in 1951 in [[Pilani]], India.<ref>{{cite web |title=Helmut Kutin|url=https://worldofchildren.org/honoree/helmut-kutin/

==Governance==
{{unsourced section|date=July 2023}}
Each 118 national SOS Children's Villages association carries out the international organizations’ missions, protocols, and policies. Regional offices guide this work and provide fundraising, marketing, and technical assistance to country offices as needed. Overall management and administration of the organization takes place at the headquarters in [[Innsbruck]], Austria. The highest decision-making body is the General Assembly responsible for electing the President, Vice-President, and other members of the International Senate. Guiding and monitoring of all SOS’ work is the responsibility of the International Senate made up of 22 members. They establish policies, formulate policy changes, and procedural guidelines. The International Senate's work is coordinated by the Management Council, comprising eight representatives from member associations chaired by the President. The Management Council makes recommendations for Senate decisions, approves work plans developed by the Management Team, and defines the federation's targets. The General Secretariat comprises the international offices in [[Austria]], and other regional offices responsible for implementing strategic decisions, developing and monitoring the organization's quality standards, and representing the organization in international communications and forums.

==International frameworks==
[[File:SOS Kinderdorf Akademie.jpg|thumb|SOS Children's Villages Hermann Gmeiner Academy, [[Austria]]]]
The organization follows three international frameworks that serve as guidelines for their work. The United Nations [[Convention on the Rights of the Child]] (UNCRC) adopted in 1989 is a human rights treaty that sets out the civil, political, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children. The UN Guidelines for Alternative Care of Children adopted in 2009 provides a framework for governments to acknowledge and deliver alternative care to children growing up without adequate parental care.<ref>{{cite web |title=Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children |url=https://www.unicef.org/protection/alternative_care_Guidelines-English.pdf}}</ref> And the UN [[Sustainable Development Goal]] adopted in 2015 and valid until 2030 in which SOS Children's Villages work focuses mainly on children and families living in vulnerable circumstances.

== Campaigns ==
=== 2009 ===
In 2009, the organization launched the "''I Matter''" campaign to improve legislation surrounding the practice on leaving care. The aim is to support youth ageing out of care in their transition toward independence.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.salto-youth.net/tools/otlas-partner-finding/organisation/sos-children-s-villages-albania.6277/|title=SALTO-YOUTH - Otlas - the partner-finding tool - Otlas - SOS Children's Villages Albania|website=www.salto-youth.net|access-date=2018-10-16}}</ref>
=== 2012 ===
In 2012, the organization launched the Care For ME! Campaign to encourage research and assessment on alternative child care and to advocate the need to protect the human rights of children from various violations committed against them. Participating countries need to assess whether their national alternative care system complies with the UN Guidelines for Alternative Care of Children.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.behance.net/gallery/17934985/SOS-Childrens-Villages-CARE-FOR-ME-campaign-report|title=Behance|website=www.behance.net|date=June 2014 |access-date=2018-10-16}}</ref>

=== 2017 ===
In 2017, the organization launched the No Child Should Grow Up Alone campaign which aims to emphasize research showing that 1 in 10 children (220 million) worldwide is growing up alone. The campaign is based on global research called the 'Care Effect' claiming that children growing up without adequate parental care are particularly vulnerable to different forms of human rights violations such as child labor, violence, and sex trafficking.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bonkacircus.com/cases/no-child-should-grow-alone-2016|title=No Child Should Grow Up Alone 2016 {{!}} Bonka circus|website=www.bonkacircus.com|language=en|access-date=2018-10-16}}</ref>

The report concluded that:<blockquote>"If we provide care for today's children in vulnerable circumstances, giving them the foundation they need for learning and developing life skills, we stand a better chance of building a better future for the world”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sos-childrensvillages.org/getmedia/cbf6820c-e8ab-4940-8e67-4618d19fe098/SOS_Childrensvillages_The-Care-effect_English.pdf|title=The 'Care Effect'}}</ref></blockquote>

== Controversy ==
In January 2018, the branch of the association in [[Ethiopia]] was accused of supporting [[Islam]], including [[Forced conversion|forcible conversion]] of children.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.fides.org/en/news/63500-AFRICA_ETHIOPIA_Small_Christian_orphans_converted_to_Islam | website = agenzia Fides|title=Small Christian orphans converted to Islam}}</ref> The organization denies the allegations but does admit that a [[mosque]] (now closed) had been built on SOS land, contrary to policy.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.fides.org/en/news/63517-AFRICA_ETHIOPIA_SOS_Children_s_Villages_reaffirms_its_commitment_to_children_at_risk |website=Agenzia Fides|title= SOS Children's Villages reaffirms its commitment to children at risk}}</ref>

== Prominent supporters ==
The first prominent supporter was the German-British businesswoman [[Béatrice von Boch-Galhau]], wife of the largest shareholder of the ceramic manufacturer [[Villeroy & Boch]].
She became friends with the at-the-time unknown [[Hermann Gmeiner]]. In 1959, she employed some of her private fortune to pay for the first Kinderdorf in Germany located in [[Merzig]] Hilbringen. She also used her husband's political connections to promote the SOS Kinderdorf idea which was first meeting resistance from the local majors.{{cn|date=November 2024}}

Prominent supporters include [[Nelson Mandela]]; the [[Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama|Dalai Lama]]; international footballers [[Kakha Kaladze]], [[Andriy Shevchenko]], [[Vincent Kompany]], [[Ruud van Nistelrooy]], [[Cesc Fàbregas]] and [[Javier Zanetti]]; opera singer [[Anna Netrebko]]; writer [[Henning Mankell]]; Belgian tennis player [[Kim Clijsters]]; [[France|French]] writer and actress [[Anny Dupérey]]; [[Sarah, Duchess of York]]; English Child Actress [[Georgie Henley]]; former model [[Salimah Aga Khan|Princess Salimah Aga Khan]]; actress and singer [[Cher]]; businessman and television host [[Mike Holmes]]; Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and entertainer [[June Carter Cash]]; and [[Johnny Cash]] whose memorial fund is towards the work of SOS Children's Villages worldwide. {{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} The organisation received the 2002 [[Conrad N. Hilton]] Humanitarian Prize.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS228427+26-Jun-2008+BW20080626 |title=CEMEX and SOS Children's Villages Partner to Provide Long-Term Care for Orphans of... |publisher=Reuters |date=June 26, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090626165057/http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS228427+26-Jun-2008+BW20080626 |archive-date=June 26, 2009 }}</ref>
