World Orphan Week 2021

 

World Orphan Week is promoted by SOS Children’s Villages UK which is known to be the world’s largest orphan charity. World Orphan Week is a call to respond to the suffering of millions of orphaned & abandoned children in the world. SOS Children’s Villages says - there are more than 14 million orphans worldwide and more than 100 million children living on the streets or abandoned – but aren’t identified or even counted. SOS Children’s Villages was founded in 1949 by a young Austrian medical student, Hermann Gmeiner, who witnessed the suffering of a lot of orphaned and abandoned children after World War II and felt that something had to be done about them to provide them help.
