Save the Children is the leading independent global organization for children. Founded in 1919, we are working in nearly 120 countries around the world. Our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives. We believe that every child deserves a future. Around the world, we give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.
Save the Children started our work in Vietnam in 1990, through the implementation of a child nutrition project in Thanh Hoa Province. Since then, we have expanded our programs to include six key program areas: Education, Health and Nutrition, Child Protection, Child Rights Governance, Child Poverty, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation. We now cover 22 provinces across the country with more than 120 staff with a wide range of technical expertise and program management qualification. In the implementation of our programs, we work in partnership with government agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector, academic and research institutions.
