THE ORGANIZATION<\/h4>\n

Save the Children has been operational in Kenya since the 1950s, supporting children through both development and humanitarian relief programs. These initiatives are delivered directly and in collaboration with local partners. Our current programming focuses on child protection, child rights governance, education, health, HIV\/AIDS, livelihoods, nutrition, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH).<\/p>\n

In 2012, as part of a global reorganization, Save the Children unified the operations of Save the Children UK, Canada, and Finland into a single entity in Kenya. In February 2014, we completed a second transition by merging with the British INGO Merlin, integrating their health and nutrition programs into our portfolio. Today, Save the Children maintains an operational presence in Nandi, Kajiado, Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kakuma Refugee Camp, Garissa, Mandera, Turkana, and Wajir, and works through partners in many other regions across the country. We employ approximately 230 staff, including members of the Global team who are hosted and hired in Kenya, but support Save the Children International (SCI) global operations. In 2025, our annual operating budget was approximately USD 20 million.<\/p>\n

We employ approximately 25,000 people across the globe and work on the ground in over 100 countries to help children affected by crises, or those that need better healthcare, education and child protection. We also campaign and advocate at the highest levels to realise the right of children and to ensure their voices are heard.<\/p>\n

We are working towards three breakthroughs in how the world treats children by 2030:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • No child dies from preventable causes before their 5th birthday.<\/li>\n
  • All children learn from a quality basic education and that,<\/li>\n
  • Violence against children is no longer tolerated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Save the Children is an equal opportunity employer and seeks to employ and assign the best-qualified talent.<\/p>\n
