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 1.9
billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever
before, through
"IL_AD">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.
