The range of pressures that families and their children are facing is huge and our mission as SOS Children’s Villages is to find out what children, young people and their families need so that they do not slip into despair,” says Gerald Stöckl. “With donation projects like this, such as the cooking campaign, we enable many children who have their new home with us to experience things that would otherwise not have been possible.” The campaign across Austria has so far raised over 180,000 euros in donations.
