save children’s lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their
potential.
We work together, with our partners,

immediate and lasting change in their lives.
Following a major transition, our
international programmes are now 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.
