SOS Children's Village

Khulna

Established in 1982, SOS Children’s Village Khulna is located in the heart of Khulna City Corporation, in the Gollamari area. 

This Village is the third SOS Children’s Village in Bangladesh and was built on 8 acres of land provided by the Government. It was formally inaugurated on 6 January 1982 by Prof. Hermann Gmeiner, the visionary founder of SOS-Kinderdorf International.

SOS Children’s Village Khulna comprises 16 family houses, providing a loving home for up to 120 children. Each house is led by a dedicated SOS mother who offers stable, nurturing care in a family-like environment. In addition to safe housing, the Village is equipped with various educational and support facilities that contribute to the all-round development of the children.

The children here are engaged in diverse stages of education — from school and college to university and vocational training — empowering them to build bright and independent futures. The core mission of the Village remains to provide family-like care to children who have lost parental support or are at risk of losing it, ensuring they grow up with love, security, and dignity.

SOS Youth House Khulna is situated at Khalishpur five km away from SOS Children’s Village Khulna. The house was purchased and renovated in 1995 where 36 young boys can be accommodated. The main objective is to help and guide them in the process of preparing through higher education and skill training and enabling to integrate into society as productive citizen.

Family Strengthening programmes are being carried out in different communities in surrounding areas of SOS Children’s Village Khulna. This programme is targeted primarily at socially and economically disadvantaged families in a crisis situation that could lead to the break-up family. We work with families and communities to support them to improve their ability to protect and care for their children, so that their children are able to grow within a care family environment.

SOS Hermann Gmeiner School Khulna is one of the best schools in Khulna city, which is situated in the SOS Children’s Village campus. The classes range from Preparatory-I to SSC and total 660 seats are available for the pupils from SOS Children's Village Khulna and the surrounding areas.

The agro-based training project - SOS Youth Village-cum-Training Centre in Bagerhat was established in the year 1993. Slow-learner boys from different SOS Children's Villages who have interest on gardening and farming take four-year comprehensive training on Agriculture. Alongside this training, they continue their education in nearby schools. Besides, Agro-farm Training Courses are offered every year for the poor youths of neighbouring community at free of charges so that they can be self-employed and become entrepreneurs.
