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.
Following a major transition, our international programmes
are now delivered through a merged operation with c14,000 staff, managed
through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central
office. We're changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better
partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for
the 21st century.
