1. 1.    Background

Save the Children International (SCI) is the world’s leading independent organisations for children. SCI has been working in Zambia since 1989, implementing both development and humanitarian programmes with the government, civil society partners, caregivers, communities and children to advance the rights and wellbeing of children to ensure all children learn, survive and are protected. Save the Children supports programmes in the thematic areas of education, health and nutrition, child rights governance, child poverty and child protection. Our child protection work in Zambia strives to ensure that families, communities and government services protect girls and boys from all forms of violence in all settings. In doing so, our breakthrough is ensuring that violence against children is no longer tolerated including working to end the violence and exploitation that children face in online spaces.
