A background to Schools Wikipedia

SOS Children's Villages aims to make Wikipedia suitable for young learners. SOS Children's Villages believes education is an important part of a child's life. That's why we ensure they receive nursery care as well as high-quality primary and secondary education. When they leave school, we support the children in our care as they progress to vocational training or higher education. Help another child by taking out a sponsorship.
