SOS Children’s Villages Philippines

The Children’s Villages of Tacloban is located in eastern Philippines on the island of Samar. This area is relatively poor compared to other parts of the island with a poverty rate of more than 40% compared to the national average of 22%. These areas are especially vulnerable to the seasonal typhoon which always hits the eastern Philippines. This worsens the situation of already vulnerable people. During these times, large groups of people lose their homes and their livelihoods as agricultural land, fishing boats and shops are damaged or destroyed. SOS Children's Villages has been present in the Philippines since the 1960s. The organization has been responding to the challenging conditions by providing day care, essential services such as health care, assistance to families in need, and loving homes for children and young people. SOS Children's Villages is presently supporting children, young people and families in eight locations throughout the island state.

SOS Children’s Village Tacloban

• 80 children live in 12 family houses

• 43 young boys and girls live in youth facilities

In the year 2017 the children’s village and the two residential youth facilities served the basic needs and other essential services to 118 children and youths.

A huge number of activities took place during 2017. Six children were given the chance to visit their relatives and family last May. This visit was part of the village programme for the children to strengthen the relationship to their family and establish stronger bonds with them in preparation for returning to their family. The children were accompanied by the head of Family Based Care and their Social Worker. Three young girls and boys went through an exit process as part of the integration and family reunification process due to self-employment, colleague graduation among other things. There was also a recognition of graduates and awardees that was conducted in April.

This activity aimed to inspire the achievers for the school year 2016-2017 and encourage other children to perform well in the following year.

Theresa, or just ‘Dadang’ to her SOS family was five years old when she and her siblings came to the village in 2002. She was a child with a lot of anguish and fear due to her family situation. In 2017, Theresa is a self-confident young woman that is now in her third year out of a four-year college degree programme, a bachelor of science in criminology or criminal justice. “Despite the numerous challenges I have faced and will still be facing, I really have that aspiration to finish the degree and be an effective enforcer of our law someday. I know it’s not all easy but as long as I have my family and friends to support me, I will continue with my dream. They are there to pat my back and say, ’you can do it, and it’s all worth it!”.

SOS Children’s Village Calbayog


• 42 youths live in the youth facilities

2017 was a special year for the SOS Children’s Village Calbayog since it was the 45th founding anniversary. The special occasion was celebrated November 11th at Altura Café in Calbayog city

by the opening of the newest facility in the village, the Youth Girls Home. The new facility is a chance for young girls to have a permanent place they can call their own. The nine girls who are currently living in the house will be staying for 2-4 years before moving in a boarding house as a part of their semi-independent living process. One of the girls wrote a poem about her excitement of the new house, “thank you for bringing us to a place we can call home”.

For one youth, 2017 was an extra wonderful year. In August it was announced that Aaron passed the board exam and that he is now a registered social worker, just a short while after graduating from college: "Countless 'Thank you' is never enough

for me to say to you for all the help you have extended to me".

SOS Children’s Villages Tirupati, India

Tirupati is situated in Province of Andhra Pradesh which is one of the largest provinces of India. The capital city Hyderabad is a hub in the new Information Technology. Nevertheless, many children are living in vulnerable situations. Child labor is widespread and adults migrate for better labor opportunities, leaving children behind. Child prostitution is common in the area. Many adults and children are affected by HIV. The infection also brings social stigma to the families.

SOS Children's Villages has been present in India since 1963 and runs 32 Villages in 22 states across the country. The organization provides family based care to 6,700 children and 16,700 children are supported through Family Strengthening Programmes across India.

SOS Childrens Village’s Tirupati


• 49 boys/young men are enrolled in the youth programme in Tirupati. 27 live in the youth facility, preparing themselves for independent adult life and the rest are residing in boarding schools.

• 1,169 beneficiaries were supported through the Family Strengthening Programme

Throughout the year the children were supported in all aspects of their development, with special focus on new children, making them feel at home in the SOS village environment.

Regarding education, children in the children’s village as well the youth hostel are showing great results and show impressive signs of further achievements. A majority of the children in the village are enrolled at school or pre-school. A Life Skills Programme was organized for children where coworkers worked with adolescents, in some cases with support from psychologists.

Activities were also organized for the better health of the children and mothers. Children’s BMI and hemoglobin were just a few of the tests that were carried out. Their diet was taken care of by mothers and a special diet for a few children was suggested and followed up on.

Youth House

At present, there are 49 boys enrolled in the youth programme. 27 of them are residing in the youth house and the rest are accommodated in boarding schools/colleges. All the boys performed well in school and all of them were promoted to the next grade. To keep up the improvement and performance, tuitions and self-study sessions were arranged at the youth house.

During 2017, several activities with the aim of increasing responsibility and self-esteem among the boys, as well as developing a realistic and positive perspective for the future took place. Orientation on examination and study skills, English classes, career guidance and awareness on children’s rights are some of the efforts made to strengthen and enlighten the youths. The boys also got the chance to visit the bank, Krishna Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Veterinary University, SV University campus, Indian Science Congress and a Coca-Cola manufacturing company. The aim was to give the youth a better understanding of real life and give them dreams and aspirations.

Mothers are visiting the youth house every Sunday and involve the boys in cooking and gardening. The boys have established a kitchen garden in their backyard. Every two months the youths go to the village and spend time with the SOS mothers and SOS brothers and sisters. It is always very special for these youngsters to spend quality time with their SOS families.

Family Strengthening Programme (FSP)

Currently, FSP Tirupati is working in six villages: Jangalapalli, Chindepalli, Venkatapalem, Bandivanipalli, Eragudipadu and Muddimudi. The programme helps 450 children below 18 years of age in 265 families of origin. The total number of adults enrolled in the programme is 718. The key elements of the FSP includes livelihood, education, nutrition, capacity building and health.

Many training programmes for capacity building of the caregivers were organized, like visits to sheep farms and training on cattle rearing. Opportunities to learn about bookkeeping, child rights and parenting skills were offered. During 2017 we have supported the livelihoods for 73 families in different areas like cattle rearing, auto rickshaw and petty shops.

Regarding health aspects, awareness programmes were organized for caregivers on sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS as well as programmes on summer diseases at high risk for children.

SOS Children’s Villages Les Cayes, Haiti

In 2017, Haiti's political situation has been somewhat stabilized. For example, the temporary president has been replaced by an elected president. However, the Haitian government's ability to meet the basic needs of the population, to solve long-standing human rights problems and to deal with humanitarian crises is still limited. Haiti is regularly exposed to natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, landslides, and droughts. The resilience of the population is extremely low, and the political and economic situation is fragile. Although the Haitian government is doubling up to respond to natural disasters, hurricanes continue to cause enormous damage. More than 175,000 people are still displaced by hurricane Matthew in October 2016. In September 2017, hurricane Irma hit the north and north-east coast of the country with some damage as a result. The inhabitants lost cattle and crops of beans and food, and the food situation that was already unstable due to hurricane Matthew was worsened. Haiti is also one of the poorest countries in the world with 60% of its population being unemployed. Thus, many Haitians still seek better opportunities abroad and migration to the United States, Colombia and the Bahamas remains high. SOS Children’s Village Les Cayes


• 15 children were reunited with their biological parents

• 24 children and young people obtained identification documents such as birth certificates.

• 19 children with behavioral problems received psychological support

The SOS Children’s Village of Les Cayes is built in the southern part of Haiti. At about 3 km from the city of Cayes this village offers the service of family care to children that have lived in vulnerable situations prior to coming to SOS. Among these vulnerable situations are extreme poverty, single-parent families, domestic violence, migration of parents abroad, abandonment, etc. Some great news is that SOS Children’s Village Les Cayes in Haiti has fully recovered from Hurricane Matthew. The houses damaged in the disaster are fully renovated. In the village, the children are between 3 and 20 years old. Activities that were carried out during 2017 includes a trip that was organized to guide children to return to school.

11 (21)

Other activities were conducted through the teen club. It is a space for discussion, exchange and awareness of young people on important topics of life. The village also took the opportunity to celebrate the International Youth Day. Other activities include the implementation of individual development plans for children, youth and for families. There was also a training session on preventive health for the programme's aunts.

SOS Children’s Villages Ratanakiri, Cambodia

Poverty remains an issue in Cambodia. In 2017, the poverty rate was 14%. Despite the rapid growth of the capital of Phnom Penh due to internal migration, about 90% of the poor still live in the countryside. About 4 million people do not have access to safe drinking water and 2 million do not have access to improved sanitation, with the access rates much worse in the rural areas. 41% of children under 5 years were stunted and 29% were underweight and about 53% of children under the age of five were anemic. About 14% of women between 15 and 49 years of age were underweight (body mass index of less than 18.5) – a situation that increases risk for complications during birth and leads to low birth weight for their babies. Cambodia is also facing the double burden of both communicable diseases and chronic diseases. Ageing, urbanization and an increase in unhealthy lifestyles have driven a sharp rise of chronic diseases, and heart conditions such as heart attacks and strokes are among the top causes of premature mortality. SOS Children’s Village is present in Cambodia since 1999, through its six SOS Children’s Villages, 26 ancillary projects and 358 co-workers has delivered services to 802 children in family like care and 1500 in family strengthening programmes and to 1855 students and pupils in kindergarten and Herman Gmeiner Schools. SOS Children’s Village Ratanakiri


• The children are between 9 months to 16 years old

• 8 youths moved into the youth house

SOS Children’s Village Ratanakiri has ten loving homes for 95 children/youth, where only three children are under the age of schooling. There are ten mothers, three aunties and three (two educators and a youth leader) administration co-workers who are ready to support the children regarding care, health and education. During 2017 all the children attended school in their individual levels. Educators have regularly visited their schools to discuss any concerns with teachers about the children’s studies and behaviors. By hiring two part-time English teachers the children also learn additional English at home. The children have been given additional lessons in mathematics, literature as well as computer skills.

As this is a quite new SOS Children’s Village, all children’s health is carefully monitored, and vaccinations and the third injection on hemoglobin was carried out in December. Keeping a routine of caring and concentrating on the best interest of child in form of education, health and social activities is always the main goal. An SOS Youth Club was established by the village. It is a great chance to provide an opportunity to strengthen the young people's abilities. Working and meeting as a team they discuss and manage all sorts of matters in the village. They gain leadership skills and develop themselves as future leaders. “Our environment is an essential part of our life. A clean environment is very necessary to live a peaceful and healthy life. I will do the best to maintain a clean environment.” says Manith who was one of the boys who got selected as one of the sub-leaders who is responsible to keep good environment for the village. He educates and guides other young children individually on the importance of a clean environment in order to contribute to a positive impact on the society. Malnutrition Programme

SOS Children’s Villages Ratanakiri runs a malnutrition programme targeting extremely vulnerable families where children are or risk being malnourished. Beneficiaries are identified in dialogue with local authorities and other stakeholders as the Department of Social Affair, Department of health, Maternity Hospitals and Action for Health Organization. Currently, there are totally 242 malnourished children including 120 girls admitted to this programme. After thorough treatment and care, 214 children regained their good health status and were discharged from the programme which meant there were only 20 remaining at the end of December. The treatment of the children starts with deworming and taking care of basic hygiene before starting their specific treatment plan by the doctor’s prescription. The feeding period takes place for three months, but can expand further to six months depending on the specific situation of the child. When they are stable enough to leave the children’s village, the children and their families will be followed up. SOS Children’s Villages provides them with a yellow card, pillow, blanket, mosquito net, clothes, shoes, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and milk powder. Upcoming programme: SOS Children’s Village Prey Veng Currently, construction of a new SOS Children’s Village is taking place in Prey Veng, located in the south part of Cambodia on the eastern banks of the Mekong. The region faces flooding regularly during the monsoon. Despite its agricultural base the province is one of the less wealthy areas of Cambodia. The rate of people living below the poverty line is around 53% with 36% living below the national average. Increasing migration to urban areas has led to many orphans and vulnerable children in the area. The SOS Children’s Village Prey Veng will consist of 8 family homes providing a safe and nurturing family environment for 65 – 70 children. The preliminary drawings have been prepared, and after soil testing the final drawings will be developed. The start of construction is planned for June this year and completion is estimated to the fourth quarter of 2018, with families moving in before the New Year.

SOS Children’s Villages Gaza

The situation in the Gaza strip continues to be pressing as the blockade is still limiting the

movement of people, goods and services which in turn has created multiple crises. The

unemployment rate is close to 46% and 60% among youth. More than 70% of Gaza’s population

receive some form of international aid, the bulk of which is food assistance. There is also an

electricity crisis as people in Gaza have electricity one to two hours per day due to fuel shortage. In

addition, the public sector is also experiencing a crisis as authorities don’t have the money to pay

salaries. Therefore, thousands of civil servants have reportedly been referred for early retirement.

The financial approval for the referral of hundreds of patients outside Gaza has also been delayed

or disrupted severely affecting the health of many people. These developments have impacted the

availability of essential services and the livelihoods of Gaza’s two million residents.

Children are especially vulnerable in this situation and many are at risk of losing parental care as

they live in single-headed households, with disabled parents or with parents with chronic diseases

and post-traumatic stress leading to increased risk of abuse and neglect. According to the latest

assessments run by the United Nations, it is estimated that 1,500 orphans live in the Gaza Strip

following the attacks on Gaza in 2014. Also, the assessment identified 6,000 children as living with

at least one disabled parent as a consequence of the attack, and more than 373,000 children in

Gaza are in need of immediate psycho-social support.

Operational Update

Emergency Care and Long-term Programme

With the support of the Akelius Foundation the Emergency Response project was launched in July 2015 in the aftermath of the war on Gaza. The project included an Interim Alternative Care Center and Emergency Family Support. The Interim Care Center did not admit any new children after June 2017 while the Emergency Family Support was operational until the end of November 2017.

16 (21)

Since the start of the programme, 162 separated and unaccompanied children have been admitted to the Interim Alternative Care Centre. The Emergency Family Support programme has supported a total of 90 families of which 22 are connected to children in the Interim Alternative Care Centre.

As mentioned in the previous report, the long-term care programme faced challenges in the start-

up phase. Therefore, a review and evaluation of the current projects in northern Gaza and the

plans for long-term care were made in order to decide on the best way forward. The main findings

were:

1) There is a continued need for short term care in the Gaza strip since there are no other short-

term alternative care providers available in Gaza. However, as the needs of these children are

more comprehensive and can’t be addressed with short-term measures there is a need to

transition from the Interim Alternative Care Center towards a new form of care.

2) A more efficient and appropriate use of resources is to let the SOS Children’s Village in Rafah

(South Gaza) serve as the main Children’s Village in Gaza, accommodating and integrating

children between the ages of two to ten. The Gaza programme office in the North will be fully

merged with the office in Rafah to create a unified structure that better supports the

beneficiaries.

3) Two new components will be added to the programmes: economic empowerment for women

that are part of the long-term care programme and security and emergency preparedness

assessment of SOS premises and operations.

Therefore, it is suggested to continue with a long-term and a short-term programme in the following

format:

Long-term Care Programme

Family Based Care

Children who lost parental care and have no possibility to be cared for by their extended family will

join the SOS Children’s Village in Rafah or, if suitable, join one of the integrated SOS families that

live in the Rafah community. The Rafah village has three homes that will accommodate up to 24

children from the North. Each SOS family in the Village is composed of a mother, an average of

seven children in each house. Considering the high level of psychological trauma that the children

have experienced, it is important to keep the number of children per family at a low level so that

they can receive the right support and care. An aunt will then be supporting the mothers.

Target: 3 new families with a total of 20 children

Kinship Care

The SOS team in North Gaza is already working with children that are living with their extended

families and during 2017 the number of children supported through kinship care was 69. These

activities will continue and expand as needed. The type of support the families of these children will

be receiving includes: service delivery such as food packages and school transportation and

capacity building on, among other, child care and parenting and economic empowerment (see

below for more details).

Target: An additional 20 children currently supported through the Emergency Care programme will

be included.

Family Strengthening Programme

17 (21)

The long-term family support will expand to North Gaza and the families currently receiving support

through the Emergency Support Programme will join the long-term Family Strengthening

Programme. They will receive the following support:

• Service delivery (food packages, easier access

to medication, psychological support, school

transportation, extra-curricular activities,

securing registration documents etc)

• Capacity building programmes for:

o Community Based Organizations

and partner organizations (financial

and administrative management

trainings, child protection and family

development training etc.)

o For care-givers (child care and

parenting, child protection, life skills trainings etc.)

o Economic empowerment for youth and caregivers (vocational trainings, Income

Generating Activities etc.)

Target: 450 children and 50-100 families that are currently supported through the Emergency Care

Programme will be included in the Family Strengthening Programmes

Short-term Care

For children who are separated from their parents for a temporary period of time or under the

threat of temporarily losing parental care, the short-term care will focus on their protection until

their family and livelihood situation can be improved. The age of the target group will be between

two and ten years of age and, in exceptional cases children up to 12 years will be included (for

example, in order to avoid separating siblings).

The children will live in a family-like environment in the SOS Children’s Village in Rafah (see photo)

for up to one year. During this time, a social worker and psychologist will work with the child and

their family to set up the necessary conditions for the child to return home. The children will be

followed up for a maximum of six months after they leave SOS care. Their families will also be

supported with non-food and food items and, if needed, they will be included in the family

strengthening programme for longer-term support.

Target: 50 children per year will benefit from the short-term care

Economic empowerment for women

As a result of the insight that in both family strengthening and emergency care activities the

majority of care givers have been women and considering the challenges faced by women to

become self-sustainable and provide for their families, it has been decided to dedicate part of the

remaining budget after closure of the Interim Alternative Care Center to conduct a targeted pilot

project to support women with economic empowerment and income generating activities.

Beneficiaries will be selected from the ongoing long-term support programmes according to their

level of vulnerability and their ability to commit to the programme.

This project aims to enhance the ability of women to take care of their children through equipping

them with skills to face the difficult circumstances in Gaza. The project will consist of two phases.

The first phase will include trainings and capacity building programmes on various subjects that

would allow the women to learn and identify the area of interest in which they would like to invest.

The second phase will support them in designing and implementing successful income-generating

projects.

Target: 30 women will be part of the pilot project

Security and Emergency Preparedness

Due to the unstable situation in Gaza, there has been a growing need for a security and

emergency preparedness plan to strengthen SOS Children’s Villages Palestine ability to support

and provide security to its staff and the children in the programmes in case there is an escalation of

violence.

In order to be able to decide where and what type of preparation is needed an assessment will be

conducted. The assessment will include an analysis of existing response mechanisms in the Gaza

Strip, possible connections with other response networks, a risk analysis and possible response

measures, emergency preparation planning, awareness building in the community and among

beneficiaries (including the SOS Children’s Village in Rafah and families that are part of the family

strengthening programme and kinship families).

Outlook

The proposed changes are not expected to affect the original total budget and the implementation

of will begin as soon as the changes have been approved.

Thanks to the support of the Akelius Foundation the following programme is starting up:

Youth programme, Brovary, Ukraine

The youth programme in Brovary is developing according to plan. During the autumn, efforts have been made to secure adequate premises for the youth center and the small group home, and several locations were investigated. The premises that were selected are situated in the Darnitsa region which is between Kiev city center and Brovary. The district has good infrastructure and transportation. In November a contract for purchase of the premises was signed.

The youth center will be housed in a big apartment block building. The premises were formerly occupied by a private medical clinic and therefore has already been equipped to provide access for children with disabilities.

The small group home is situated close to the youth center. It is a two-floor apartment with many rooms, which corresponds well to the needs of the group home. The premises will be renovated and an architect has been consulted to plan the new lay-out. The drawings have now been confirmed. In parallel with renovating premises for the youth programme, assessments are being made of the services available in the area around the chosen locations, and SOS Children’s Villages is looking to form partnerships with other organisations to improve the quality and access for young people in the area.

Also, a needs assessment of young people in the Children’s Village is being made in order to select those that will be the first to move in, and parents and youth are being prepared for this change.
