QUALITY INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
• To improve participation of children, their parents and the community in education planning.
...by developing models of practice and advocacy with the government and civil society.
NEWBORN AND CHILD SURVIVAL
(HEALTH + NUTRITION)
In 2008, Save the Children initiated health and nutrition projects to evaluate interventions within
existing large-scale delivery systems (NRHM, ICDS). The project will play a catalytic role within
the national health sector, providing helpful insight and guidance into the government health
system and the community-based actors who deliver health and nutrition services in India.
Where we work:
•Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand - Technical assistance on newborn care through MCHIP (Maternal
and Child Health Integrated Programme)

EVERY ONE CAMPAIGN
Our Aim:
Since 2008, we responded to all the major emergencies in the country. Our assessments show that
nearly 50% of all affected people in any emergency are children - the most vulnerable and easy
targets for trafficking.
• Kosi Floods, 2008 - Mounted an Alliance-wide response. SCUK was our counterpart. We
reached 117,000 people, about 60,000 of them children
• Mautam in Mizoram - We reached 3,000 households over a period of one year with
comprehensive relief and recovery
• Cyclone Aila, 2009 in the Sunderbans - Save the Children has been the major responder and it
is still continuing through ECHO support. Intervention pre-selected for DipECHO funding

16,000+ children through education kits child friendly spaces, etc.
