About the project:

Save the Children has been working in the Solomon Islands since 1986, working across health, education, child protection, climate change adaptation and humanitarian sectors. Children in the Solomon Islands face significant risks of violence, neglect, and exploitation due to a complex interplay of factors. To address this, Save the Children is implementing a 4-year project, Gud Tumoro: Komiuniti Tugeta for Lukautim Pikinini, with support from the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program. The project aims to empower children in the Solomon Islands to thrive in safe, respectful communities, free from violence and exploitation, through strengthened families and locally responsive, equitable systems.
