SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia

SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia We believe that truly bonding with a child has the
power to change the world.

Since 1974, the organization has been active in the field of social protection of children and young people without parental care as well as families at risk. SOS Ethiopia cooperates with a number of CSOs, government entities and private institutions locally. Areas of cooperation range from joint planning, financing, implementation and influencing on social protection and youth empowerment. SOS Ethiopia follows a development approach, which goes beyond provision of essential services, by developing interventions in capacity building and in strengthening of community support systems which build enduring impact. SOS Ethiopia actively participates in the creation of public policies and advocates for the rights of children and young people at social risk with the ultimate goal of each child to grow up in a family. It has been operating in different parts of the country through its seven program locations located at Addis Ababa, Bahirdar, Gode, Harar, Hawassa, Mekelle, and Jimma.

One forum. Countless insights. Lasting impact.

We're still carrying the energy of the National Impact Forum held on September 3. A day of thought-provoking discussions, shared learning, and renewed commitment to driving meaningful change for young care leavers in Ethiopia.

Here's a look back at the day.

Sometimes, becoming stronger starts with something as simple as having the chance to save, invest, and begin again.

For Hiwot, life once felt overwhelming. Today, she speaks about the changes she has made, the small business she has built, and the joy of being able to provide for her children.

Her journey was supported through the Arba Minch Family and Community Strengthening Project, implemented by SOS Children’s Villages in Ethiopia with the support of SOS Children’s Villages Iceland (SOS Barnaþorpin).

Watch her story and hear, in her own words, what this change has meant for her and her children.

Through the Family Strengthening and Child Development Project in Lalibela, implemented by SOS Children’s Villages in Ethiopia with the support of SOS-Kinderdorf Schweiz | SOS Villages d’Enfants Suisse, Mihret found an opportunity to move forward.

At 16, Afnaan entered a classroom for the first time.

Having lost her eyesight in early childhood, she had spent much of her life at home, with few opportunities to learn, build confidence or imagine a future of her own.

Today, with the support of a teacher who believed in her, accessible learning tools and a growing love for Braille, Afnaan is learning to write independently, and dreaming of becoming a teacher herself.

Her story reminds us that literacy is about more than reading and writing. It is about access, inclusion, independence and having the opportunity to shape your own future.

This International Literacy Day, discover how removing barriers to education can open new possibilities for every child: https://www.sos-ethiopia.org/news/literacy-day-2026
