Child Care Champ Awards and Partners Appreciation

We work closely with multi-national corporations, national companies, and small- to medium-sized businesses to build partnerships that leverage the strengths of the corporate sector.

The nature of our partnerships varies with each partner, evolving over time to respond to children’s needs and changes in the business environment.

Whether it’s through strategic programmatic funding, by leveraging a company’s core expertise and networks, or by working with industries to promote child-rights principles in responsible business practices, we partner with the private sector to make a transformational difference for children.

Limitations


SOS Children's Villages Zambia will not enter into partnerships with companies involved in the sale of alcohol, tobacco, arms and weapons, or gambling (except charity lotteries). Additionally, we will not partner with companies that utilize child labor in any aspect of their operations or supply chain.

Marketing Guidelines


While SOS Children's Villages Zambia is the beneficiary of donations through partnerships, we cannot sell or distribute products for our partners. Although we may publicly acknowledge our corporate partners, we cannot advertise or promote their products and services due to our non-profit status. To help raise awareness of our mission, we ask partners to include our URL (www.soszambia.org) and related messaging on all promotional materials, press releases, and partnership outreach. SOS Children's Villages Zambia is happy to provide partners with approved language for this purpose.

For all marketing programs, we request that partners inform consumers about our global work and provide a way to contact SOS Children's Villages Zambia for further information. The SOS Children's Villages Zambia name and logo are registered trademarks, and written permission is required for their use. Companies must enter into a written contract with us outlining how these licensed marks will be used.

Cause-Related Marketing


Without a fully executed contract, the use of the SOS Children's Villages Zambia name and/or logo is strictly prohibited.

Sale of Products and Commercial Co-Ventures


If you wish to contribute a percentage of proceeds from the sale of a product, you must provide a sample (or drawings/photos if the product is in development) for SOS Children's Villages Zambia to review. A commercial co-venture involves a company promoting a product or service while clearly disclosing that a portion of the proceeds will benefit our cause. SOS Children's Villages Zambia cannot provide legal advice to partners; we recommend seeking legal counsel to ensure compliance with all relevant requirements.

House Sponsorship

An SOS Family Home is a loving, family-like environment, for children without parental care. Your CSI contribution towards an SOS Family Home, provides an SOS Family, with up to 8 children, with a qualified carer, the SOS Mother, an education suited to their needs, nutritious meals, access to good healthcare, clean water and minor building maintenance. Many of the children we care for have had difficult life experiences and for those children with specific needs, we provide remedial tuition, trauma counselling and psychological support.

Does your Corporate Social Investment policy aim to contribute both financially and through staff involvement? Do you want to ensure that your investment creates a meaningful and lasting impact? Family Home Sponsorship offers the perfect opportunity for you. With an annual contribution, you can sponsor a specific family in one of our villages, directly supporting the running costs of their home. This partnership is not only impactful but also deeply rewarding.

We would love to hear from you! For more information, please email our team at national.office@sos-zambia.org.

Thanks to the generosity of donors and socially responsible companies, children who have lost parental care now have the chance to experience a successful childhood, develop their potential, pursue careers, and grow into independent, responsible members of society. Your support makes this transformation possible.
