About World Orphan Week
World Orphan Week takes place between 4th -11th March each year to highlight the number of orphaned children around the world growing up alone, with nothing and no-one to care for them.
The awareness and funds raised through World Orphan Week enables SOS Children to change the lives of these vulnerable children to ensure they grow up with the love, care and security of a family. Poverty, disease, natural disasters and conflict are breaking families apart, leaving children increasingly at risk.
SOS Children plans to not only increase the number of orphaned children receiving direct care in our Villages, but also work with vulnerable families in the community to prevent children losing the care of their parents. To do this, we need your help.
In the lead up to World Orphan Week we will be suggesting ways for you to get involved and hold fundraising activities during the week, including the launch of our ‘Walk to Chipata’.
