Background and Context

SOS Children’s Villages Ethiopia is an International Non-governmental organization and a member of SOS Children’s Villages International Federation. We started our humanitarian work in Ethiopia with the opening of our first Village in Mekelle, Northern part of Ethiopia in 1974. Since then, we have expanded our programs to different regions where there are significant needs for intervention and where we believe we can work in partnership with all relevant actors to bring sustainable positive outcomes for children’s and young people.

Today, we have grown significantly to meet the persistent challenges that confront Ethiopian children who have lost parental care and those that are at risk of losing their parental care. Working in close collaboration with international donors, local government and community based organizations across seven program locations; we aspire that every child grows up with love, respect and security.

SOSCV’s strategic focus is stimulating financial sector development by partnering with community-based financial institutions and other stakeholders to increase access to and use of financial services. SOSCV’s economic empowerment strategy uses SACCOs to contribute to serve as an entry point for socio-economic development of the poorest members of the Ethiopian population.
