• Established by Dr. Hermann Gmeiner in 1949, SOS Children’s Village International is celebrating its silver jubilee this year. SOS means “Save our Soul”. So the main objective of SOS Children’s Village in Nepal is to give family atmosphere to the orphans, so that every child would get the opportunity of developing mental as well as physical fitness so that every child should come out as a respected citizen of prestige in future.
