Bruxelles, Région de Bruxelles, Belgique SOS Children's Villages Temps plein
:


SOS Children's Villages, founded in 1949, is the world's largest non-governmental organization focused on supporting children and young people without parental care, or at risk of losing it.

Child neglect, abuse and abandonment is everywhere. Families are at risk of separation.

Locally led, we work in more than 130 countries and territories to strengthen families who are under pressure so they can stay together.

When this is not in a child or young person's best interests, we provide quality care according to their unique needs.


Together with partners, donors, communities, children, young people and families, we enable children to grow up with the bonds they need to develop and become their strongest selves.

We speak up for each child's rights and advocate for change so all children can grow up in a supportive environment.


Location:

Brussels (Belgium)

Duration:

***6 months (with possibility of extension to 12 months)

We work in 136 countries and territories, reaching over one million children, young people, families and caregivers each year.
