Save the Children

Save the Children South Africa

As a national and global organisation, Save the Children has been responsible for the design and implementation of programs for over 100 years, responding to the most vulnerable children in times of crisis. Our ability to adapt to changing environments and rely on evidence-based programing to support interventions, has led us to become one of the leading independent child rights movement in the world. Although global, Save the Children works in a community-based approach, relying on networks and partners on the ground to gain entry into the hardest to reach places. Leveraging our organisations’ networks, capabilities and resources, we can provide deeply engaging coordination support for our partners during the research dissemination, review and reporting stages.
