A safe home
SOS Children’s Villages is the world’s largest charity dedicated to providing safe, warm, loving homes to orphaned and abandoned children in the world’s poorest countries.
Leave a legacy
Your legacy will help the world’s most vulnerable children
If you’re considering a gift in your Will to SOS Children’s Villages Canada, you’re including some of the world’s most desperate children in your embrace.
Your bequest – be it magnificent or modest – is a gesture of pure love extended to a child you will probably never meet. Perhaps that child is yet to be born.
SOS Children’s Villages has an ambitious Strategic Plan 2030 to ensure that many more children grow up in a supportive and caring environment. But we can’t do it without you. In 2026, we are asking 20 new compassionate donors to let us know they’ve left a gift in their will to SOS Children’s Villages Canada. Please join our 20 for 30 Legacy Challenge today!
I think for any child it is very important to have that one person who really, really cares.

What your gift does
Rescue today, a future tomorrow
Food, school, medical care
Your gift not only rescues these children, it builds their future by providing a safe home, healthy food, school, medical care.
The love of an SOS mother
And, most importantly, the love of an SOS mother who will raise them until adulthood. There’s nothing in life that compares to a mother’s love.
