SOS Children’s Villages 2016 Princess of Asturias Award for Concord

Statement by Siddhartha Kaul on the conferral of the 2016 Princess of Asturias Award for Concord to SOS Children's Villages

“We are honoured that SOS Children’s Villages has been named the recipient of the 2016 Princess of Asturias Award for Concord. In a world where millions of children and young people are denied their globally-accepted rights to care and protection, the world is facing a massive challenge. This award reflects not just the role that SOS Children’s Villages plays in 134 countries and territories, but the need for a global movement to ensure that every single child can grow up with love and respect.”
