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.

delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 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.
