ABOUT THE ORGANISATION:
Save the Children
Save the Children International is an independent or-
ganization caring for children. Founded in 1919, today
it operates in more than 120 countries throughout the
world, reaching some 55 million children in 2014. Save
the Children International aims for a world in which
every child attains the right to survival, protection,
development, and participation. Their mission is to
inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats
children and achieve immediate and lasting change in
their lives.
Save the Children has been operating in Armenia
since 1993, delivering relief and development pro-
grammes to the most vulnerable children and their
families for more than two decades. Their vital health,
education, and social initiatives have helped improve
basic conditions of the poorest populations through
community-based projects and the capacity-building
of local partners and institutions.
There are approximately 65 non-governmental organ-
izations working in Armenia, and Save the Children
Armenia works in close collaboration with them. At
the beginning of every intervention, Save the Children
meets with other organizations working in education
to discuss way of collaboration/joint activities and to
avoid overlap.
