60 years SOS Children's Village

This book invites its readers to a visual journey through time by showing 200 fotos about the foundation and further history of development of SOS Children´s Villages beginning 1949 up to 1986. It´s a story about human beings who impressed through their courage as well as their compassion. A story, in which the child is in the centre of all our efforts.

Women's Lives

Fifteen women from four continents have permitted the reader to gain an insight into their life stories. They all have one thing in common: they have chosen to become SOS mothers. What are these women's personal backgrounds? How do they organize their daily lives in the SOS Children's Villages? In the portraits on hand the women give answers to these questions and many more.

When Knowledge Sparks a Flame

How can we successfully make the right knowledge available to the right people at the right time? How can we support co-workers in transferring and implementing knowledge? And how can the challenges involved be met? These are the questions SOS Children's Villages has been dealing with in great detail over the last couple of years.

Childhood and Trauma

Experts from eight countries have come together to work out the causes and effects of trauma.
