OUR WORK

Save the Children is a worldwide international organization that works for the children’s rights and wellbeing. It was founded in 1919 in the United Kingdom by Eglantyne Jebb who pioneered the idea of children’s rights. 

Save the Children was established in Bhutan in 1982. Over the last 40 years, Save the Children has been working in partnership with the government and local CSOs in the key areas of Education, Child Protection and Child Health, to serve the most vulnerable and marginalized children and their families. Our work is guided by the global Ambition 2030 goals, country strategic plans, and the government’s five-year plan priorities

Child rights governance: our interventions, have focused broadly on budget advocacy, international treaty reporting, influencing policies and legislation and supporting the participation of children and young persons in governance matters. We currently have Parenting without Violence project ongoing under this theme. 

Education: We help young children access early education (both pre-primary and primary), which allows them to develop literacy and skills through play. We currently have Prescription to Play Project under this theme. 

Health: We work with government and local CSO partners to provide sustainable HIV services to key population. We currently have SKPA 2 project under this theme. 

Adolescents & Youth: We work with adolescents and youth to ensure they realize their rights by giving them a voice and a platform to engage with their leaders. We currently have SHIFT project under this theme.
