If we take SOS Children’s Villages of India, they have a child sponsorship program that helps people to donate for a noble cause and also keep a tab about the growth of their adopted child. The most unique feature of an SOS village is the home-like environment and the long-term support system they have for the children. Every child in the SOS Village is taken care till the age of 24 years. The village has houses built in which around 10-12 children stay together as brothers and sisters along with a mother who takes care of all these children.
We have read some success stories where the children who have passed out of the village have come back only as an inspiration for other children and to thank their mother at the SOS Family who motivated them through thick and thin. The SOS village helps children to know about their roots and realize their potential. Millions of dreams are fulfilled this way. The best part of SOS Children’s Villages is that they do not call themselves an Orphanage India for the children in need but a community where children can develop their abilities and come out as bright and good humans.
The child feels a special bond and relationship with the mother and the children staying there which helps him realize the importance of a family and keeps him feel cared and loved. Belongingness is what SOS Children’s Villages of India gives to these children what other orphanages are unsuccessful in giving. When these children cme back to SOS they don’t come back to an orphanage to pay donation but they come back to a family who waits for him teary-eyed and hopes best for him in his life.
