Family Strengthening Programme
As a result of the growing orphan crisis in Southern Africa, largely attributed to the HIV & AIDS pandemic, SOS realised that there was a need to expand beyond its children's village operations to prevent children from becoming orphaned and abandoned, and falling out of the family environment. SOS responded by developing community-based family strengthening programmes, which provide support to families caring for orphans and vulnerable children, with the aim of keeping these children in their families and communities of origin.
Community Social Centres
There are three Social Centres, in Qwa Qwa, Mathanjana and Sekhukhune. The focus in these Centres is to form partnerships with community structures and to enable them to tackle the issues facing orphans and vulnerable children at grass roots level. Projects include income generation, childcare skills, youth activities, HIV & AIDS awareness and community capacity building.
