What is the children’s village Banda Aceh?
SOS Children’s Village Banda Aceh was set up in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami in order to support families in rebuilding their livelihoods, so that they could stay together and to provide a loving home for children without parental care. Years later, we continue to support vulnerable families and children in the area.

How did Banda Aceh’s massive outpouring of aid affect the country?
