Resumo: The organization which was built earthquake-proof using pre-fabricated elements and was already completed in 1990. In 1992, a kindergarten was added, which takes in children from the neighborhood as well. On 18 April 1998 the hosting organization was officially. In February 2001 a Youth Facility was opened, where the youths live during the time of their vocational training or education and prepare themselves for an independent life under the guidance of their youth leaders.

The organization is situated in the city, about 15 km north of the capital. The plot of land measures about 6 ha and was donated by the local authorities. It is perfectly integrated into the public supply system.

The organization consists of 12 family houses, a SOS kindergarten, a Village Director's house, accommodation for the aunts, a Community House, offices and staff quarters. In spring 1998, the children together with an artist painted some of the family houses.

The charity fund is organizing a long term care of children-orphans with the help of “SOS mother”. The aim of the “SOS mother” is making a real family, bringing up and taking care of children, becoming mother for children for many years, making a real hearth. Each mother has maximum 7 children-orphans and they live all together in a separate cottage. Here in the village children found their new mothers, brothers and sisters.

There’s a kindergarten situated on the territory of the SOS village. The kindergarten is an integrational one, where there are 15 children who live in the village and 8-9 children coming from nearby regions, where there are no kindergartens. This integration with village children gives SOS children a possibility and teach them to make friends with children out of the SOS village. The kindergarten uses the step-by-step method, which means that the main aim is centralized on child’s interests.

There are 3 Youth Facilities in the town. The Facilities are the places where children move after the village after finishing school, when comes the period for them to choose their way, their profession. It’s the most difficult and important period in their life. Here they try to build their own life. Here the life conditions are worse than in the village and it’s done on purpose them to bigin to get used to real everyday life by their own, they are becoming a personality. The teenagers are provided with monthly money, that they use on food, clothes, on the things of first nessesarity. There mustn’t be any pressure on children, they do whatever they want, they choose themselves what to do and how to live.
