SOS Children's Village Marseille
The first family houses of the SOS Children's Village Marseille were built in 1972 and today there are altogether eleven houses and a community centre with rooms for festivities and other social activities on the vast terrain. With a capacity of about 60 children, Marseille is the largest SOS Children's Village in France. In addition to the houses, SOS Children's Villages France has rented four apartments in a suburb of Marseille where adolescents from the SOS Children's Village stay during their higher educational or vocational training in order to get used step by step to live an independent life.
