SOS Children’s Village apologises over child abuse, corruption

Patrick Vidija - The Standard

"SOS Children’s village [in Kenya] has apologised for what it terms as 'failures to prevent children from being abused'" in response to the unmasking of "rampant cases of child abuse, corruption and breaches to protect the children's rights" in its Kenya centers, according to this article from the Standard. The organisation's supervisory body "has instructed that an independent Special Commission be established to address past and contemporary cases of failings, including child abuse, corruption, misuse of funds, and breaches of regulations that protect children’s and employees’ human rights."
