SOS Children's Villages in Indonesia
The people of Indonesia have suffered hardships due to natural disasters and political and economic changes. Conflicts in the late 1990s led to an increase in the number of refugees, in particular children who had lost parental care. SOS Children's Villages has responded to the growing needs by increasing its work in the country. Armed conflict in East Timor led SOS Desa Taruna Indonesia to set up an SOS Emergency Relief Programme in 1999. More than 100 refugees from an orphanage in the East Timorese capital, Dili, were taken to SOS Children's Village Flores, where they remained during the war. In December 2004, a tsunami ravaged the northern island of Sumatra. SOS Children's Villages provided immediate emergency relief measures to traumatized children and homeless families. This was followed by the construction of more than 500 private homes and community centres near Banda Aceh and Meulaboh. Generous donations and close cooperation with the local authorities finally made it possible for the organisation to set up three new SOS Children's Villages in Banda Aceh, Medan and Meulaboh.
Young children can be looked after in the SOS Kindergartens, older children in Lembang can attend the SOS Hermann Gmeiner school and young adults can live in special houses where they are supported by professionals. The SOS Social Centres provide health counselling and vital support to families in the community through the SOS Family Strengthening Programmes; working in collaboration with local agencies, they assist families with income generation, parental skills or legal support to allow them to stay together. When children can no longer stay with their families, they are cared for by their SOS mothers in one of the SOS families.

SOS CHILDREN'S VILLAGES IN INDONESIA
Whilst Mr Agus Prawoto, an Indonesian, was studying in Austria in 1969, he got to know the SOS Children's Village idea and facilities very well. Impressed by the concept and attracted by the happy atmosphere in the SOS Children's Villages he wanted to give orphaned and abandoned children in his home country also the chance to grow up in the security of an SOS Children's Village. After returning to Indonesia in 1970, Agus Prawoto immediately started with the preparations for the founding of the first SOS Children's Village in Lembang, 16 km north of Bandung on West Java. The national association, SOS Desa Taruna Indonesia, was founded in 1971 and the first families were able to move into their new homes in September 1972.
