Together with SOS, we will help transform lives through care, hospitality and compassion.”

A collaboration with Radisson Hotel Group will allow SOS Children’s Villages to strengthen its efforts by mobilizing local supporters and volunteers in support of ensuring no child grows up alone. SOS has been recognized for its innovative and holistic programs, ethical policies, commitment to amplifying youth voices and for putting transparency at the heart of its work. The organization is a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee and a member of “Accountable Now”, a cross-sector platform for internationally operating civil society organizations.
