Guwahati is home to a big list of NGOs, Orphanages, Old Age homes, Blind Welfare, Women Welfare and lots more. NGOs like Snehalaya, SOS Village are some of the oldest non-governmental organisations in Guwahati and have been playing an active role from the time of its inauguration. The SOS Children's Villages has their branches all over India and have been working in Guwahati since 1988, they work for the overall development of a child’s well being and their work has developed rapidly all over the country foe the last 50 years. The main focus of the work that SOS Children's Villages carries out in the city of Guwahati is related to supporting the deprived children and families near where the organization is based. They provide families with hygienic food, medical treatment, as well as educational support. And also in order for parents to generate income, they offer them career counseling, vocational training and advice on how to look for a job. Hence, for example some women have been trained in goat and pig rearing, tailoring and many of them have opened small shops.
