SOS Children’s Villages Brazil has been working for four years in partnership with UNHCR in a project called Brasil Sem Fronteiras, Brazil without Borders. The four houses, opened for refugees, in the SOS Children’s Village have separate bedrooms and share common areas such as the living room, kitchen and laundry. These can host up to 13 families, who typically stay from three to six months, and leave when they have a stable source of income and a home. While offering shelter and protection to Venezuelan families, the SOS team is providing guidance to access basic services, support to help them find jobs, and integrate into the community, as well as counselling and coaching on parenting skills.
