SOS Children's Villages Armenia

What SOS Children's Villages Armenia does

SOS Children's Villages Armenia (legal name: "SOS Children's Villages" Armenian Charity Foundation) is a non-profit charitable foundation established in 1988 and headquartered in Yerevan, Armenia. The organization supports children, youth, and families in difficult life circumstances across Armenia through four core service pillars: alternative care (family-style villages and foster support for children without parental care), prevention and family strengthening, advocacy, and humanitarian action, supplemented by a mental health educational course. It operates four regional branches — Yerevan (national office), Ijevan (Tavush), Kotayk, and Gyumri (Shirak, opened January 2026) — and supports 180 families through its Family Strengthening Program.

The foundation's product surface combines a web-based donation platform supporting monthly and one-time contributions in AMD, USD, and RUB (including crypto), a project-level crowdfunding platform for individual beneficiary campaigns (medical costs, equipment, housing, education), the SOS Friends Club monthly-giving program, a six-module Mental Health Course, a Stories Corner for beneficiary impact content, and a Facer street-outreach program deploying trained representatives at public locations across five Armenian cities. Its proprietary technology is limited to standard charity/donation management tooling with online payment processing, recurring donation automation, and beneficiary-level campaign tracking; no AI/ML, APIs, SDKs, or distinctive intellectual property are disclosed.

Revenue is generated entirely from donations across four streams: monthly recurring donations from individual givers (preset tiers of approximately $10, $12-20, and $30 USD), one-time donations, crowdfunding campaign contributions, and tiered corporate partnerships (Platinum, Silver, Bronze, plus SOS Friend Organizations). Named Platinum-tier partners include HSBC, Cargill, Zeppelin, Grand Candy, Armenian Swiss Bank, Idram, Tovmasyan Foundation, Yerevan Park, Synopsys, EY, Ucom, Byblos Bank, and Ameria Bank. The organization does not disclose financial revenue figures and operates as part of the global SOS Children's Villages federation while being independently registered under Armenian law.
