Working with SOS Children
Hundreds of organisations, from small businesses to global corporations, have a role in the future of generations of children around the world through working with SOS Children. Your company too can make a contribution to a brighter future for children, and learn just how inspiring those children can be. By partnering with SOS Children you can place Corporate Responsibility at the heart of your business, like these companies have done:

AMEC has matched employee fundraising for specific villages as well as for disaster response appeals to help Chile, Haiti, Pakistan and East Africa. We are very proud that our cooperation with SOS Children can make a difference where it is needed."
Tereza Urbankova. Internal Communications Manager
HSBC
"HSBC has worked closely with SOS Children for over five years. We value their global reach, and also their approach to creating a family atmosphere to help children and young people work towards a positive future.
