SOS Children`s Villages - SOS
SOS-Kinderdorf We are family! 3 We are family! H is name and his ideas live on: Medical student Hermann Gmeiner founded the first SOS Children’s Village in Imst, Tyrol, in 1949. There, orphans who had lost their parents during the Second World War were to be provided with a loving home and a caring family. Gmeiner’s basic idea was both simple and brilliant: children who had lost their parents should live and grow up together with an SOS mother in an SOS family. In this family environment, the children would experience trust, comfort and support. They would find a new home until they were able to lead a selfdetermined life on their own. In Germany, too, Hermann Gmeiner’s idea met with great enthusiasm. In 1955 the German SOS Children’s Villages association, SOS-Kinderdorf e.V., was founded. Only one year later the foundation stone was laid for the first German Children’s Village in Diessen, Ammersee. Initially, SOS-Kinderdorf cared for orphans, but today mainly children and young people from difficult family situations are supported by our care model. Today as in the past our work is financed by donations and public funding. Hermann Gmeiner (1919 –1986) Since the 1960s, many new SOS facilities have opened their doors worldwide. Often, the donations SOS associations in poor countries receive are not sufficient to support local SOS facilities. Therefore, SOS-Kinderdorf e.V. alone supports 129 projects in 43 countries. The majority of the SOS Children’s Villages also have associated facilities such as HermannGmeiner Schools, Social Centers and Medical Centers, from which also people in the neighborhood benefit. Children and families are at the center of SOS-Kinderdorf. They especially need our support in the event of natural catastrophes, war and conflict situations. SOS Children’s Villages has implemented some 100 emergency programs in the past decades, e.g. 2004 after the Tsunami catastrophe in the Indian Ocean and after the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010. One of the foremost objectives of SOS Children’s Villages is to fulfill the current needs of children, young people, families and the elderly. This is what all the SOS facilities’ care offers aim at: SOS Homes for Multiple Generations create places to meet, SOS school social workers help to solve conflicts in everyday school life and new urban facilities offer lowthreshold programs in districts where they are most urgently needed. We invite you to learn more about the variety of SOS facilities on the following pages. 5 E verything started with an SOS Children’s Village. Even today these villages are our most famous care offer. Every SOS Children’s Village is based on Hermann Gmeiner’s fundamental ideas: An SOS mother – or an SOS father – farms the care of each SOS family. She or he supports the children and gives them comfort and affection. Five to six children, biological and SOS siblings, live in one family house, where they feel at home. The family houses form a village, which provides a familiar environment and a lively community for the children and young people. “Christa takes me in her arms when I am sad” Lucie has lived in the SOS Children’s Village Saxony since the age of 3. SOS Children’s Villages A loving home for children There are 15 SOS Children’s Villages in Germany. Currently, 644 children are cared for in 122 SOS families. Since the first SOS Children’s Villages association was founded, 5,167 children found a new home in one of the German SOS Children’s Villages. “The ‘load’ children have to carry today is different to what it used to be in the days of Gmeiner”, is how the director of an SOS facility puts it. Today, many children and young people accommodated in an SOS Children’s Village are traumatized and have made substantially negative experiences. SOS mothers are supported by therapists and educators who help them create an environment where these emotionally burdened children can deal with what they have experienced and feel secure – a prerequisite for them to look optimistically in the future. The big demand led to the development of additional facilities in and around the Children’s Villages such as SOS Day-Care Centers, Youth Facilities, Family Centers and even Homes for Multiple Generations, which form a natural complement to our care offer. SOS Children’s Villages moves into towns. The SOS Children’s Village in Berlin-Moabit – in the heart of a socially deprived area – is an open offer which provides diverse forms of support. There, the main care focus is on families with an immigrant background and children from socially disadvantaged families. Additional urban Children’s Villages are currently planned or under construction. 7 S OS Child and Youth Welfare Facilities offer help and support to adolescents at moments of difficulty in their passage to adulthood: situations which seem hopeless if dealt with alone can be solved and new perspectives can be developed. Finding one’s way and activating the necessary resources – this is what the coworkers in the SOS Child and Youth Welfare Facilities want to achieve together with the young adults cared for. Young people who cannot live with their biological families for diverse reasons find a new (temporary) home in the youth residential communities or assisted living programs. Professional experts support the young adults according to their potential. Taking one’s life into one’s own hands, promoting tolerance and solidarity and strengthening the learning and conflict skills of young adults – this is the SOS cowork-ers’ objective. “It’s a stroke of luck that I can live here” Anne has lived in the SOS Youth Residential Community in Erlangen for two years now. SOS child and youth welfare facilities Growing up together Currently, about 756 adolescents are cared for in SOS Youth Facilities. SOS school social workers are active in around 60 schools, providing support to children and adolescents. Special care offers, e.g. for young women with eating disorders and for homeless adolescents, are offered on demand. Many SOS Youth Welfare Facilities also offer counseling for families who have problems with education and upbringing or want to get professional support. Here, young people find experts to talk to and ther-apists who listen to them and give advice. With their open meeting points or family centers, many facilities are contact points for all those who need help. Youth work in school becomes more and more prevalent in our SOS Child and Youth Welfare offer. SOS coworkers support students, teachers and parents in schools all over Germany and help them perceive and solve problems directly in school. 9 G ood vocational training is more important today than ever. But what if school didn’t work out, or the risk persists of falling into welfare? What if the job training position found was not the right choice or problems at home are so prevalent that it is not possible to learn for an exam? The SOS Vocational Training Centers offer young people who would hardly have a chance on the job market new perspectives and help them take responsibility for their life. In vocational preparatory courses, young adults get a chance to discover their strengths and find a job that suits them. It’s important for them to overcome problems in school, for only those with basic knowledge in German, Mathematics and computer skills have a chance to find an apprenticeship or later a job. “I am proud I did it” Tim finished vocational training as a cook at the SOS Vocational Training Center in Berlin. SOS Vocational Training Developing perspectives Vocational training is offered at 16 SOS facilities. In 2011 some 1,500 young adults were trained and supported by the SOS Vocational Training Centers in Germany. Young adults can choose from about 20 vocational training courses and apprenticeships. With targeted remedial teaching the SOS coworkers help the adolescents to substantially improve their chances. Besides developing the young person’s professional qualifications, our coworkers cooperate with the young adults in organizing their daily routine and help them develop perseverance and learning skills. The young people are supported in compiling their application documents and trained in how to appear and behave in job interviews to help them succeed in obtaining one of the coveted apprenticeships. Some of the apprenticeships are offered directly at the Vocational Training Center and some in cooperating companies. The young people are trained in jobs ranging from cook to gardener to media designer to hairdresser. The SOS trainers personally support the young people in jointly solving problems large and small. 11 I t is not always possible to solve family problems independently: There is, for example, the son who has problems to keep up in class, since he doesn’t want to learn, the daughter who is much more affected by puberty than others or the newborn who cries and cries and cannot be consoled. In these situations it is important to have a competent expert at one’s side to find ways out of the crisis. Counseling with SOS is free of charge and confidential. It is open to all who look for help. Many who need help have to overcome a certain inhibition before they trust a stranger. But anyone who seeks help in an SOS Counseling Center can be sure that the conversation will be absolutely confidential. Open course offers complement the care offer of many SOS Counseling Centers. These are, for example, family courses, a meeting point offer for children and young people in areas where there is hardly anything on for them or individual support. Also consulting is offered to couples with relationship problems or if they need support in dealing with each other and the children after a separation. "Often, talking helps to open up new ways forward." Jutta H. supports single people and couples who want professional help. SOS Counseling Center Help for those who seek advice In Germany, there are 26 SOS facilities offering counseling services. In 2011 SOS Counselors offered about 8,806 counseling hours per month. Over 31,000 people sought advice from SOS in 2011. In the SOS Early Childhood Intervention Centers parents of infants and children up to school age find contact persons who know how to deal with the little ones. Often, parents are not sure whether development retardation is present in a child. Coworkers in the Early Childhood Intervention Centers are experts in their field; they can intervene from early on and provide support for the parents. They give advice and ensure that a child develops normally. 13 T he coffee shop is the central meeting point of each SOS Mothers Center where contacts can be made, counseling is offered and people can have a low-priced lunch together with others. The idea behind Mothers Centers is that there are hardly any extended families any more where several generations live together under the same roof and support each other. In the Mothers Centers everybody shall feel like in a family and support each other. ‘Help for self-help’ is the concept of the SOS Mothers Centers. Every visitor is invited to come up with own talents and ideas, for this is what the Mothers Centers are all about. SOS coworkers create the necessary structures for courses and events, offer professional counseling and help in many difficult situations in life. No matter whether one is active as a course manager, educator, counselor or service provider – there are many opportunities to engage oneself in the SOS Mothers Centers. “Here, I always feel welcome” Lina regularly visits the coffee shop and has finally met other single parents. SOS Mothers Centers Places of encounter In 2011 some 15,100 persons regulary visited the SOS Mothers Centers. All the three SOS Mothers Centers are also Homes for Multiple Generations, where any age group is catered for. The first SOS Mothers Center was founded in Salzgitter in 1980. A place where all the generations and nations are united and where everybody is welcome, especially those who are often alone, live on the edge of society and depend on support from others. No matter whether it is the migrant woman who attends a German course and knows her children are well cared for in the day-care center or the old lady who is too often alone and finally found someone to play cards with: Many find exactly what they have been looking for in the SOS Mothers Centers. Permanent facilities such as second hand shops or toddler groups are regularly open to visitors, even if they do not have any money. And of course men are welcome, too! 15 C hildren become adults – and persons with special needs grow up just like everybody else. Even mentally or psychologically challenged persons, coveted and supported by their parents, reach a point where they want to lead a more independent life on their own. In the SOS Village Communities people with special needs work and live together in a strong community. Up to eight beneficiaries live together with their house parents in a house community. Every member of the community can enjoy privacy as well as comfort and support, and everybody has a certain task. The manageable structures of the SOS Village Communities allow the beneficiaries to develop in different areas of life and employment. This helps them discover little by little in what field they can develop best and feel that they belong. All the three SOS Village Communities are certified organic farms, where foodstuff is produced, and handicraft products are made in the village workshops. The beneficiaries can choose between activities in agriculture, manual and creative tasks or work in the village shop. “As if the place was just made for him” say the parents of Manuel, whose son lives and works in the SOS Village Community in Grimmen-Hohenwieden. SOS Village Communities Standing on one’s own feet Currently, some 251 beneficiaries live in the three SOS Village Communities. In total, there are 29 house communities. The beneficiaries produce high-quality products and foodstuffs, which are sold in local shops. The musical-artistic experience and development is an important aspect of life in the village. Regular music or theater performances are part of the village life as well as performances by external artists. Also the neighborhood community regularly attends these events, which allows neighbors to benefit from each other and helps villagers to make contact outside the village. 17 SOS-Kinderdorf abroad In principle, even in poorer countries, it is the best solution for a child to grow up in his/her own biological family, if the family members succeed in solving problems together. Therefore, SOS Children’s Villages places a strong focus on the support of families to ensure that the parents provide the best possible care and protection for their children. Only when all the solutions have been futile will the children be placed in an SOS family. G lobally, millions of children grow up without the care and protection of a family. War, natural and environmental disasters, disease, poverty and unemployment place hardship on families and especially the children suffer. Recognizing this, SOS-Kinderdorf started its first projects outside Europe back in 1963. In 1964 SOS Children’s Villages International was founded: The umbrella association of all the national SOS Children’s Villages associations coordinates global SOS activities from its headquarters in Innsbruck. In the SOS families, every child is supported psychologically and materially and benefits from education and professional training. Furthermore, the children experience comfort and support by growing up together with their biological siblings in an SOS family. SOS-Kinderdorf e.V. alone finances 121 projects in 43 countries and is one of the leading SOS associations that make the global work possible. In these facilities, more than 178,000 children, adolescents and adults are cared for. SOS helps worldwide 60 years after the foundation of SOS Children’s Villages, the association is active in 133 countries worldwide in total. More than 2.2 million children, young people and families worldwide are cared for by SOSKinderdorf. (Figures correct to Jan 1, 2011) SOS also cares for children when they grow older, for example in SOS Youth Facilities where young adults are prepared for an independent life on their own outside the facility. In countries that lack adequate educational facilities SOS Children’s Villages operates kindergartens, primary and secondary schools as well as vocational training centers in the vicinity of the Children’s Villages. SOS Social Centers offer programs for disadvantaged families based on the specific needs of the local beneficiaries. The SOS Medical Centers ensure the medical care of distressed families in the neighborhood of SOS Children’s Villages. Many poor people who normally couldn’t afford to visit a doctor are treated for a small fee. Furthermore, extensive vaccination programs ensure protection against the most common infectious diseases. And also counseling in hygiene and nutrition as well as family planning is offered. 19 You can help! SOS-Kinderdorf offers many opportunities to help children and young people in Germany and abroad.
