What do we mean when we use the word family? Not every child has living parents, and how we define family can be different across cultures and countries.

When we talk about family at SOS Children’s Villages UK, we are talking about:

🌟 The people around a child, such as family members, carers and the wider community, who help them feel safe and supported as they grow up.

🌟The wider communities which share the care of children across households, generations and networks.

At SOS Children’s Villages UK, a small question like ‘what is a family?’, over time, grew into a bigger question for us: who do we need to become to best support the children, young people and families we are here for?

📢 In October, we will be announcing a new name and launching a new identity.

This change goes far beyond simply changing our name and logo.

We are putting our values at the very heart of what we do. We are evolving the ways we support families and children across the world, and we are growing our voice so that we can show up effectively for children who need us most.

We can’t wait to show you more – watch this space!

Up to half of the children in Haiti have been recruited by armed gangs.

Read that again.

Children who should be in classrooms, carrying weapons.

Children who should be playing with friends, being drawn into violence.

Children who should be dreaming about their future, fighting to survive.

All of this is taking away any right they have to a happy childhood.

What do these children need? Protection, opportunity and support before gangs become the only option they can see.

simply be a child 🚸

Imagine more than 1,000 schools in England filled with children at risk from malnutrition. It's a truly horrifying thought. Yet this is the reality for many children in Haiti, where 294,000 children are at risk of malnutrition.

Their futures are being shaped by a crisis they did nothing to create. This must change.

Don’t look away. Children need you. Help us spread the word about the crisis in Haiti.

When you scratch beneath the surface of what’s going on in Haiti, you won’t like what you see.

Gangs are targeting vulnerable young people, offering belonging when there are no other options and using fear where safety and protection are absent.

To feel loved. To be safe. To know someone is there to support you.

These things are not a privilege, they are what every child deserves.

In Haiti, children are growing up without that start in life. Forced to grow up too quickly to know how to play. Play has been replaced by trauma and violence.

The scale of the problem is unimaginable.

Right now, 2.8 million children in Haiti are in need of humanitarian assistance. More children in Haiti need our help than the total number of children who live in London.

You don’t often see Haiti in the news, but while the world’s attention is elsewhere children are growing up surrounded by conflict and instability.

Ignoring the issues or failing to speak about it is not an option. Silence aids violence – and violence destroys childhoods.

Speak up. Support families. Invest in children’s futures. Help break the cycle before another childhood is lost.

Silence aids violence.
