What SOS ბავშვთა სოფელი • SOS Children`s Villages Georgia does

SOS Children's Villages Georgia (საქართველოს ეს-ო-ეს ბავშვთა სოფელი) is a non-profit charitable organization founded in 1989 and headquartered in Tbilisi, Georgia, operating as the Georgian national member association of SOS Children's Villages International (founded 1949, Austria; present in 136 countries). The organization delivers a multi-component child welfare ecosystem organized around three core programs — Family Strengthening (ოჯახის გაძლიერება), Alternative Care (ალტერნატიული ზრუნვა), and Advocacy (ადვოკატირება) — supported by cross-cutting initiatives in Child Safeguarding and Gender Equality. Operational components include 11 small family-type homes for children aged 6-18 without parental care, 5 youth residences for those aging out of state care at 18-21, 4 mother-child shelters providing 24-hour services to pregnant women and mothers in crisis, day care centers, early childhood development services for children with developmental delays, and foster care support. Services are delivered through multidisciplinary teams of social workers, psychologists, employment specialists, and case managers across 6 regions of Georgia.

The organization reaches approximately 1,600-1,700 children and families monthly, with cumulative impact of roughly 2,500 families and 5,600 children and youth since 1989. Funding is diversified across three streams: individual donations (one-time and recurring monthly contributions of ₾10-30 plus custom amounts), corporate partnerships structured as Goodness, Future, and Change Supporter tiers with dedicated relationship management, and institutional grants from SOS-Kinderdörfer weltweit, UNICEF, BMZ (German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development), Austrian Development Agency, and Hermann Gmeiner Foundation. Active multi-year projects include the Youth Self-Reliance, Wellbeing, and Employment Support project (2022-2025, trilateral with SOS Belarus and SOS Kyrgyzstan), community empowerment in Zugdidi (2024-2028), Ukrainian refugee family support (2025-2027), and a Tbilisi kindergarten development project (2026). The technology stack is minimal — a website serving as the primary donation and information portal, plus email communications and social media — consistent with a field-based service delivery model rather than a technology product. The organization is privately held with 27 employees and is not publicly listed.
