At present there are three SOS Children's Villages, one SOS Youth Facility, one SOS Vocational Training Centre and one SOS Social Centre in Costa Rica. In 1972, SOS Children's Village started working in Costa Rica. Although the socioeconomic situation in Costa Rica is far better than in many other Latin American countries, poverty and neglect still affect thousands of Costa Rican children and families. In three different locations, SOS Children's Villages is supporting children and young people both in SOS families and in their families of origin.
