About the job

ORGANISATION BACKGROUND:

Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today's education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world's toughest places where others won't, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan, South America, Middle East, Africa and South Asia. Since 2008 we have helped over 1,600,000 children to go to school and learn and supported over 222,000 adults set up businesses so they can afford the cost of educating their children.

Our work as Street Child in the aforementioned domains is deliberate and intentional and we aim to scale up our operations in the field by ensuring that more and more children return to normal lives by living in a safe environment, reunited with their families, attending school and protected against violence, sexual exploitations and other societal vices.
