Aldeas Infantiles SOS de España is a private non-governmental organization headquartered in Madrid (Calle Angelita Cavero, 9) that has operated in Spain since 1967 as the Spanish national association of the global SOS Children's Villages federation. The organization is focused exclusively on child protection and welfare, addressing the needs of children without parental care, families at risk of separation, and youth aging out of the protection system. It was declared of Public Utility by the Spanish Council of Ministers on May 23, 1983, and operates under National Association Registry number 41,723.

The organization delivers services through a portfolio of social programs rather than a unified technology product.

In 2025, the organization served 20,900 children, youth, and young adults in Spain, supported 4,763 families, reached 230,000 students in 2,300 schools, and coordinated 409 volunteers across multiple provinces.

Revenue is generated through five diversified streams: individual membership contributions (socios), one-time donations, child sponsorship programs (padrinos), corporate partnerships through its Corporate Alliances division, and institutional grants from Spanish government entities. Donations are eligible for tax deductions under Spanish Law 49/2002 (Ley de Mecenazgo). The organization maintains multiple quality and child safeguarding certifications including EFQM 2024, ISO 9001, Keeping Children Safe, and Quality4Children, and operates as part of a global federation present in 139 countries and territories. Leadership comprises Pedro Puig Pérez as President and María del Mar Líndez Líndez as Director General.
