Characteristics

Save the Children Sweden is an organisation in which children participate and have

influence. We are:

 

Committed

Save the Children Sweden is driven by a strong commitment towards children’s rights

and a will to influence and change the future in the best interest of the child.

 

Outspoken

Save the Children Sweden is a non-affiliated and critical monitor of decision-makers

with regard to issues that affect children. We side with children and take a firm

stand when the rights of the child are not respected by decision makers in the public

and private sectors or in social norms and values.

 

Qualified

Save the Children Sweden bases its work on up-to-date knowledge and practical experience.

This is a prerequisite for credibility and our ability to influence the development

towards a society that respects, promotes and protects the rights of the child.

 

Persistent

Accomplishing change in attitudes, policy and practices takes time. Save the Children

Sweden works with persistence and with a long-term perspective in order to

achieve lasting improvements in conditions for children.
