Currently, we have over 250 children in our two villages with about 45 of them pursuing secondary, vocational and university education in various disciplines including accountancy, computer science, catering, etc. Others are serving as apprentices in various areas.
One of the goals of the SOS Children’s Village is to help improve the quality of life of the children and the communities in which the Villages are located. This goal is achieved by building and operating other facilities such as kindergartens, schools, medical and social centers as well as vocational training centers.

- A Girls Youth home in Tema with 15 young girls
