SOS Children's Villages Canada is a mid-sized nonprofit operating in the philanthropic fundraising sector, part of a global network dedicated to protecting abandoned, neglected, and abused children by offering stable homes and ongoing family support. It operates as a non-political, non-denominational organization within SOS Children's Villages International, which serves more than 130 countries and has a history spanning over seven decades. Its Canadian office has operated since 1969 and is based in Ottawa, Ontario; the organization has earned international recognition, including the Hilton Humanitarian Prize in 2002 and Nobel Peace Prize nominations. The organization targets children in need and their families, delivering villages and community programs that meet basic needs such as food, health, shelter, and education while supporting social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development. The aim is to help children grow into responsible, contributing members of society by providing nurturing, stable environments. A recent development for the Canadian arm is the launch of the Green Growth - Empowering Youth for a Green Future project, undertaken in partnership with the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada.
