Cuidad Ojeda SOS Social Centre

The SOS Social Centre, Cuidad Ojeda helps more than 200 children and their families. In particular the SOS Social Centre set up a "Open Classroom" in one of the poorest districts for children at risk aged between 7 and 13. These children have never been to school, have been abused or are responsible for caring for their younger brothers and sisters. The outcome has been that a number of these children each year enter main stream education. The SOS Social Centre follows up these orphaned and vulnerable children and their families to ensure that they have a future.
