SOS Children's Village

Activity: look for funds.
Comments: It is a very well equipped and organised village of orphans inside a compound, as other villages from SOS Children’s Villages in other countries. This one was commissioned in 2007, and so it is half of its capacity now: about 75 children up to 13 years old, who are orphans or come from very poor families.
There is a medical centre, a school where other children come and twelve houses with a mother (staff), a housemaid and about six children of different ages, that will become twelve when the village will be full. There is a man that plays the role of the father of all children, and also works as the director of the village: he controls the diet, supervise the village, make sure that the UN children’s rights and other policies are respected… Children have coaches to play football with other teams. During festivities they make trips. When they will go to Secondary School they will live in a flat with a youth counsellor.
Address: Dukwa Road, Gwagwalada. P.O. box 288 FCT Abuja.
