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 fulfill 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 1.9 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 c15,000
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.
