House Sponsorship

An SOS Family Home is a loving, family-like environment, for children without parental care. Your CSI contribution towards an SOS Family Home, provides an SOS Family, with up to 8 children, with a qualified carer, the SOS Mother, an education suited to their needs, nutritious meals, access to good healthcare, clean water and minor building maintenance. Many of the children we care for have had difficult life experiences and for those children with specific needs, we provide remedial tuition, trauma counselling and psychological support.

Does your Corporate Social Investment policy aim to make a meaningful impact both financially and through staff involvement?
Are you looking to ensure that your contributions create a lasting difference?

The Family Home Sponsorship program offers the perfect opportunity for your organization to make a profound impact. With an annual contribution of NAD 150 you will be matched with a specific family in one of our SOS Children’s Villages in Namibia. Your sponsorship will help cover the running costs of their home, ensuring a nurturing environment for children who have lost parental care.

This is more than just a financial contribution—it’s a mutually rewarding partnership that transforms lives.

Join the growing number of responsible companies and individuals committed to empowering Namibia’s future. Together, we can give children the chance to thrive, reach their potential, and grow into independent, responsible members of our society.
