ABOUT SAVE THE CHILDREN:
Save the Children (SC) was established in 1919 and is the world’s leading organization working for children with operations in more than 120 countries worldwide. Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development, and participation.
SC Turkey’s programming is framed by our Country Strategic Plan 2019-2021. We favor integrated programming to promote i) access to education and ECCD, ii) access to livelihood, predominantly among youth, and iii) protection and child protection, with particular focus on prevention and response to child labor, child marriage, and violence against children and iv) Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS). We also have a strong focus on child and youth participation, community-based programming, promotion of children’s rights, inclusive programming (particular focus on gender and disability), social cohesion, and resilience to promote sustainable solutions for children, their families, and communities. These thematic areas are in line with SC’s solid technical expertise regionally and globally.
SC Turkey works in partnership and collaboration with key civil society, private sector stakeholders, and formal duty bearers, including municipalities. SC Turkey has gained strong acceptance and trust by the Government of Turkey, which we actively continue to invest.
