Jafra Cosmetics International has donated a portion of its product sales, totaling more than $100,000, to help SOS Children’s Villages construct a new village in Vietnam.
The donation is part of a larger gift to the SOS Children’s Villages that was made by Jafra's parent company, the Vorwerk Group.
The new SOS village is located in Quy Nhon, Vietnam and will open in 2011. Providing round-the-clock, family-style care in 14 houses, the village will accommodate up to 140 children. Like all SOS Villages, the village structures will be built with sound ecological principles – using solar power, for example, to provide lighting and hot water. The village will be integrated into the larger, local Vietnamese community, embracing the local culture and customs.
Founded in 1949, SOS Children’s Villages is an international charity dedicated to raising orphaned and abandoned children.
