SOS Children’s Village Kraljevo provides new families and homes to 98 children without parental care from Serbia.
Our SOS mothers (foster caretakers) are raising and educating the children in their "SOS families", in an environment similar to a biological family, with the help of a competent team from SOS Children's Village Kraljevo.
Our purpose is giving the children stability, security, a caring family environment and assistance to become healthy, happy, responsible and efficient youngsters. We must enable them for an independent life – they must know how to choose professions, work and their personal and professional life’s path. SOS Children’s Village Kraljevo – Centre for placement of children without parental care with network of foster families, is the 443-th SOS Children’s Village in the world.
