SOS Children�s Villages calls for more investment in family care

Given the severe consequences of inadequate care for the development of children, the organisation recommends increased investment in supporting family care for children in vulnerable circumstances.

On November 20, Universal Children’s Day, SOS Children’s Villages, the world’s largest non-governmental organisation focused on supporting children without parental care and families at risk, stresses the importance of a loving family for children. Without the loving care of a parent or other adult caregiver, children are less likely to develop the skills they need to become contributing members of society, says the organisation.
