SOS - Kindersoorf
| Out of Hermann Gmeiner's unswerving conviction that help can never be effective where children have no home, the SOS Children's Village idea was born, and it was first implemented with the foundation of SOS Children's Village - Imst in Austria in 1949. Since then the SOS Children's Village idea and educational principles have been acclaimed all over the world. |
