What happens when caregivers have the space to reconnect with themselves? 💙

In Cochabamba, Bolivia, mothers came together to talk about motherhood, identity, emotions and the realities they face every day. Through workshops, conversations and portrait photography, they strengthened their voices, built self-confidence and saw themselves beyond their daily responsibilities.

When mothers feel seen, heard and supported, their children feel it too.

What does it mean for a child to feel truly seen? 💙

In Nepal, children and young people are coming together to share ideas, express themselves and build confidence.

Through children’s clubs and group activities, they have spaces where their voices can be heard and their perspectives valued.

Because being seen is more than being noticed. It means having someone listen to what you have to say, and knowing your voice matters.

Severe floods in Nepal have killed more than 1,200 people, displaced families and left children facing urgent protection risks. More than 100 children may have been separated from their parents or caregivers. Thousands more are dealing with disrupted education, loss and uncertainty.

SOS Children's Villages Nepal is working with government authorities to ensure alternative care for unaccompanied children and establishing safe spaces where children and young people can receive psychosocial support.

As communities deal with the aftermath of the floods, we are mobilizing support to help families meet their most urgent needs and rebuild their lives.

Children’s safety and care must remain at the centre of the humanitarian response.

After drought and conflict forced Fatuma and her family to leave their home in Somalia, they arrived in Baidoa with few options for earning an income. Some days, the family survived on just one meal.

Then Fatuma discovered a new opportunity: hydroponic farming.

Through a project supported by SOS Children’s Villages and The Peter Gilgan Foundation, Fatuma joined a cooperative of women learning to grow fresh vegetables using hydroponics, a climate-resilient approach that uses up to 90% less water than traditional agriculture.

Today, she is turning those new skills into income and helping ensure her six children can go to school.

“I use part of the money to make sure my children can go to school. Education is important for their future.”

The project is supporting 200 female-headed households in Baidoa, helping women build sustainable livelihoods while adapting to the realities of drought and climate change.

Climate-smart solutions are helping families build more resilient futures in Somalia.

Growing up in a one-room home on the outskirts of Da Nang, Vietnam, Thủy dreamed of going to school.

Her father died when she was three, leaving her mother to raise three children alone. “Our family was very poor,” recalls Thủy, now 29. “My mother could not afford to send all of us to school.”

With support from SOS Children’s Villages Vietnam’s Family Strengthening Program, Thủy and her siblings stayed in school and built successful careers.

Through YouthRISE at SOS Children's Villages Mexico, a robotics 🤖 workshop using LEGO helped children and young people develop skills that matter for their future, from teamwork and communication to patience and problem-solving.

For one participant, the experience sparked a dream:
“I would like to study robotics engineering and build more robots in the future.”

When children and young people have opportunities to learn, explore, and collaborate, they strengthen the skills and confidence they need to shape their own paths.
