About SOS Children’s Villages
SOS Children’s Villages International is a global, independent, non-governmental organization dedicated to ensuring that children and young people without parental care, or at risk of losing it, grow up in a supportive and caring family environment.
Our mission is to build families for children in need, support them in shaping their own futures, and contribute to the development of their communities. This mission is realized through integrated interventions that include providing quality alternative care for children without parental care, strengthening vulnerable families to prevent separation, empowering young people for independent living through education and skills development, advocating for the protection and fulfilment of children’s rights, and delivering emergency humanitarian support to children and families affected by crises.
Operating in over 130 countries and territories, SOS Children’s Villages adapts its programmes to local contexts and works in partnership with communities, governments, and other stakeholders to promote the rights and well-being of children and young people worldwide.
Description of Project
SOS Children’s Villages, Ghana with funding support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Corporation (NORAD) is implementing a project called “ Protecting Children at Risk of Losing Parental Care Project” which operates in five districts (5) across four (4) regions ( Bono East Region- Sene west district, Volta Region-Adaklu district, Greater Accra Region- Ada East and West and Central Region-Ekumfi district )
This project aims at improving the self-reliance of families and communities to provide quality care and protection for children and young persons. By the end of the project period, it would have economically strengthened the capacity of 2000 socially vulnerable families and 1000 youth to care for and support 6400 children. 10,000 socially vulnerable children, young people, and families have improved access to MHPSS and SRHR services; and child protection structures have strengthened on prevention, rescue, rehabilitation, and prosecution of child rights abuses such as child marriage, child labour, and trafficking. Furthermore, 10,800 vulnerable Children and young people have improved learning outcomes, 16 vulnerable communities have enhanced capacity to prevent, manage, and respond to emergencies and climate change, and the capacity of key implementing partners has strengthened between 2025-2029.
It is in this backdrop that the project seeks to engage a civil society organization (CSO) in the Ekumfi District for project implementation in selected communities.
