SOS Children's Villages

This International Charity provides alternative care, within a family environment, for children who can no longer live with their own families.



Rotary supports SOS Children's Villages, a world-leading charity in the care of unsupported children, with projects in 129 countries. Watton Rotary Club sponsors a child in Kenya. Our sponsorship enables the charity to provide a loving family environment for the child to grow up in, a secure home and quality education. SOS Children's villages enable sponsored children to thrive, not just survive.

We receive updates from the Charity on the progress of David, the child we have supported for a number of years.
