Job Description

Child rights begin with safe shelter, nutrition, and protection from disaster and conflict, and traverse the life cycle: pre-natal care for healthy births, clean water and sanitation, health care, and education.

Working with and for children through adolescence and into adulthood requires a global presence whose goal is to produce results and monitor their effects.
