WASH & Shelter Volunteer - North Area Office

Who we are 

Save the Children's work saves and improves children's lives around the world. We work to ensure children have healthcare, food, and shelter, as well as learning and child protection services when children need it most. We are committed to helping all children achieve their full potential by ensuring they grow up healthy, receive a good education, and stay safe.

Securing children's rights is the foundation of our work. Millions of children around the world are denied their rights, simply because of who they are or where they are from. We know that to ensure every child has the chance for a future their rights must be upheld.

Through our programming, emergency responses, and advocacy, we put the most vulnerable children first, tackling the barriers to survival, learning, and protection.
