In 1949 the 1st SOS Children’s Village in the world was founded.
The town of Imst has a special relationship with SOS Children's Villages. Since the first children's village was founded here in 1949, an idea has been spreading across the world: Hermann Gmeiner's visionary concept of giving children from difficult family backgrounds hope and a future.
