Description
Save the Children is
the world’s leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120
countries. We save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them
fulfil their potential.
We work together,
with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats
children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
We have over two
million supporters worldwide and raised 1.6 billion dollars last year to reach
more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition,
education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

our international programmes will be delivered through a merged operation with
14 000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively

better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and
relevant for the 21st century.
