The SOS Children’s Villages foster care program offers children deprived of parental care the opportunity to grow up in a warm and secure environment.

This foster care allows each child to find their bearings, thrive, and build a secure future.

Objectives of the family placement service
Guaranteeing respect for the rights and development of the child.
Placing the best interests of the child at the heart of care, respecting their identity, their history, their right to be heard and ensuring their overall development (emotional, educational, social).
To offer a safe and sustainable family setting.
To provide a family-like environment where the child can create stable emotional bonds with attachment figures, preserve sibling relationships and find the security necessary to heal their wounds and grow in confidence.
Supporting the child towards autonomy and social inclusion.
Supporting the child throughout their journey, gradually preparing their autonomy and promoting their integration into society, in order to give them the means to build a stable and fulfilling future.
What does the family placement service consist of?
- A protective and warm environment
When children can no longer live with their parents, SOS Children’s Villages offers them a family-like, stable and secure environment. - Individualized support
Each child benefits from attention tailored to their history, identity and specific needs, with the support of stable and caring educational figures. - The preserved sibling bond:
Whenever possible, brothers and sisters grow up together in an SOS Children’s Village, because sibling bonds are an essential resource. - Growing towards autonomy
Beyond the daily routine, family-based care allows children to rebuild themselves, regain confidence and be supported until adulthood to prepare for their future.
