SOS Children’s Villages of India (SOSCVI) is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organisation registered under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. Since 1964, SOSCVI has been committed to the holistic development of parentless, abandoned, and vulnerable children (0–23 years) and their families.
With 31 SOS Children’s Villages and 27 community outreach projects across India, we provide long-term care and strengthen families and communities to ensure children grow up in safe, loving homes instead of facing abandonment, not just physically, but also emotionally, socially, economically, and educationally.
Our flagship Family Strengthening Programme is a preventive, community-based intervention that empowers families to care for their children and build sustainable futures. We provide support in education, healthcare, nutrition, parenting, financial literacy, skills training, and livelihood opportunities while helping women caregivers become self-reliant as individuals, parents, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
In 2023–24, the programme empowered over 35,000 children and nearly 20,000 women in urban slums and rural areas where the risk of abandonment is highest. By addressing the root causes of child abandonment, we build stronger families, protect childhoods, and create pathways for brighter futures.

Run for Families. Run for Children.
Join us in strengthening families and protecting childhoods!
Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving family, not abandoned, not alone. Through our Family Strengthening Programme, we work directly with vulnerable families and communities to ensure that children are not abandoned, physically, emotionally, socially, economically, or educationally.
Funds you help raise will:
• Provide essential health, nutrition, and education support to children.
• Empower women caregivers with livelihood opportunities for a stable income.
• Build parenting, child protection, and financial literacy skills.

Every step you run helps keep a family together and a child safe, healthy, and in school.
