SOS Children, the world's largest "orphan and abandoned children" charity. This children's charity provides a home (in amazing Children's Villages) for around 60,000 children in over 140 countries and helps half a million more through projects around the world, including AIDS orphans, street children and tsunami orphans. Specifically SOS children supports street children in many countries along the silk road and helps them to a brighter future

A very large proportion of their work is carried out thanks to child sponsorship programs in the 440 villages they work in. This sponsorship allows orphaned and abandoned children to grow up in a fmaily house with 8-10 other children and they are looked after by local volunteers. Full details about sponsoring a child can be found on their website.

More details of specific projects will appear soon.
