Our Partnerships

Save the Children is actively looking for innovative collaborations with corporations that share our vision of a better world for children. There are many ways for your company to partner with us. You could provide much needed funding to support our programs and emergency response work around the world. We also offer a Workplace Giving program for your employees to get involved in. We have rigorous partnership assessment procedures and policies that ensure we partner with companies committed to social responsibility and who share our values and goals.

GSK Project   
Save the Children South Africa advocates for the use of non-violent methods of discipline that promotes open communication between adult and child, builds a child’s self-confidence and self-discipline, and instils values of non-violence and mutual respect. Parenting programmes that provide effective positive discipline techniques are therefore vital for preventing violence against children, as they have the capacity to break the intergenerational transmission of violence. GSK has partnered with Save the Children for 3 years (October 2022 – September 2024) to improve skills of a multi-disciplinary team on child safe guarding and protection and to facilitate increased skills of preventing violence against children.
