Something about SOS movement and SOS village. 

SOS Children's Villages take action for children as an independent non-governmental social organization. They respect varying religions and cultures, and they work in countries and communities where their mission can contribute to development. SOS work in the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and they promote these rights around the world. With the SOS Children's Village concept, this organization pioneered a family approach to the long-term care of orphaned and abandoned children.
