SAVE THE CHILDREN NIGERIA VACANCIES
Save the Children is a leading international organization helping children in need around the world. First established in the UK in 1919, separate national organizations have been set up in more twenty eight countries, sharing the aim of improving the lives of children through education, health care and economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in cases of natural disasters, war and conflict. Today, twenty eight national Save the Children organizations participate in the International Save the Children Alliance – a global network of non-profit organizations working in over 120 countries around the world. In addition to promoting greater public awareness of the needs and rights of children worldwide, Alliance members coordinate emergency relief efforts, helping to protect children from effects of disasters, both natural and manmade. We also work with the existing Food and Nutrition Partnership Forum to influence governance and donors to bring the issue of malnutrition and poverty into the national agenda.
