SOS Children’s Village is a World-wide child development organisation that gives underprivileged youth and vulnerable children an opportunity to grow up in a loving home regardless of culture, race of religion.

The Villages receive support from individuals, corporate organisations, governments and foundations. In Botswana there are three Villages with well over 1800 pupils.The facility in Tlokweng has 20 individual housing units accommodating 5 people per house and has 2 showers and a kitchen.
