09 February - Human Rights - SOS Children’s Villages celebrates World Orphan Week
On Sakhisizwe today we spoke to Leigh Swartz – Fund Development Manager for SOS Children’s Villages South Africa. We were talking about World Orphan Week. World Orphan Week began in the UK in 2005 to raise awareness for the needs of orphaned and abandoned children around the world. SOS Children’s Villages has introduced the annual World Orphan Week to South Africa to promote awareness about orphans and their plight. Leigh explained more about this initiative. WOW encourages the public to support initiatives backing orphans and donate R5 to SOS Children’s Villages.
