Vantage Foundation Collaborates with SOS Children's Villages Philippines

The Vantage Foundation has proudly announced its partnership with SOS Children's Villages Philippines, a prominent non-governmental organization dedicated to providing safe and nurturing family care for children lacking parental support. This collaboration aims to empower vulnerable children and families in the Philippines, ensuring they receive the necessary assistance and resources to thrive.

Founded in 1967, SOS Children's Villages operates a comprehensive network of programs designed to care for vulnerable children and strengthen at-risk families. Their approach is based on a family care model, where children who are orphaned or whose parents cannot care for them are placed in SOS villages. These villages consist of small family homes, each managed by a trained SOS mother, providing children with the love, attention, and care of a true family.

Children grow up in these homes alongside their biological siblings and other children, benefiting from the continuous support of caregivers. These caregivers serve as role models, offering emotional, educational, and psychological guidance to help shape the children's futures. SOS Children's Villages provides comprehensive care from early childhood until the young individuals complete their education or training, preparing them for adulthood.

With programs focused on educational support, vocational training, scholarships, and career counseling, SOS Children's Villages enhances the skills and opportunities available to youth. This equips them with the tools necessary to break the cycle of poverty, facilitating their dreams and aspirations towards becoming future leaders and engaged members of society.

In January, representatives from the Vantage Foundation visited the SOS village in Manila, witnessing firsthand the impactful work being done to support vulnerable children and youth. Reflecting on the experience, Steven Xie, Executive Director of Vantage Foundation, stated, "Seeing the incredible work accomplished at SOS reinforced our commitment to supporting initiatives that provide not only care but also opportunities for young people to build a brighter future."

Ivy Evangelista, Partnership and Charity Manager at SOS Children's Villages Philippines, emphasized the importance of their partnership, saying, "Our collaborations are vital in helping us expand our reach and impact. By working together with organizations like Vantage Foundation, we can provide the necessary support for children and young people to build better futures and break the cycle of poverty."
