Founded more than 50 years ago, SOS Children’s Villages India (SOS VEI) is an independent, non-governmental association working in the field of social development whose goal is to give a home to orphaned children, abandoned or whose children parents are unable to assume the responsibility and sustainably encourage their development.

In addition to thirty or so children’s villages in operation across the country, SOS VEI runs schools and vocational training centers.

One of these centers, located in the district of Nizamuddin in Delhi, since 2011 has trained young people from slums around in areas of information technology and communication sought after in the labor market. Once they have completed their training SOS VEI helps these young people to find a job with partner companies.
