OUR WORKEducation: we seek to ensure that children have access to high quality basic education services and focus our efforts on comprehensive early childhood care and development.

Child Rights Governance: we work with national and local governments to ensure compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We also advocate for legislation to protect children´s rights and to increase public investment in children.

Protection: we strengthen child protection systems so children can live in an environment free from violence and exploitation. We work towards eliminating all forms of physical and humiliating punishment of children in the home and school.

Poverty Reduction: we promote policies and advocate to reduce child poverty, and implement programs on adolescent skill-development in order to enable them to make a successful transition to adulthood.

Health & Nutrition: we work to eliminate child mortality from preventable causes, promote access to sexual and reproductive health for adolescents, and seek to ensure equitable access to health care and nutrition for the most vulnerable children.

Save the Children is implementing programs in Bolivia directly and with partners and stakeholders, so that all children will attain their rights to survive, learn and be protected from harm. Our approach focuses on comprehensive child development and child participation.
