The SOS Children’s Villageson the occasion of World Family Day on May 15, they implement an information campaign with the main message “Every child deserves a family”. The purpose of the campaign is to highlight the value of the institution of the family, in all its forms, with the aim that every child grows up with love, respect and safety.

Also, SOS Children’s Villages created a video, with the support of Sissy Christidou, who “embraced” it with her voice.

Let’s share it on Social Media highlighting the importance of the institution of the family and its role in a society with love, respect and safety for every child.

In the framework of campaign for World Family Day, SOS Children’s Villages will hold events throughout Greece, with the aim of informing and raising public awareness.

In Athens, we are invited on Wednesday, May 15 (17:00-21:00) at Kypseli Municipal Market, with a series of recreational activities for young and old, art workshops for children, screening of informative video material, live information from the scientific partners of the Child and Family Support Center and the Learning and Pedagogical Support Center of Athens and many more surprises. At the same time, the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Fire Department will offer children the opportunity to discover musical instruments and will accompany the event with music and songs. See here all the scheduled events throughout Greece.

The family and its empowerment is at the heart of the work of SOS Children’s Villages and all their programs. From the SOS Children’s Villages, which offer “family-style” care for children who have had to be removed from their biological families, to the Child and Family Support Centers, which operate throughout Greece and provide Prevention services, supporting vulnerable families and helping them to stay united. In addition, SOS Children’s Villages has been supporting Deinstitutionalization in practice, for many years now, through Foster Care and Adoption, in collaboration with the relevant agencies.
