SAVE THE CHILDREN EUROPE
Save the Children Europe works in Brussels to ensure European Union (EU) policies and funding have a lasting and positive impact on children’s lives. We focus on making sure the EU fights child poverty in Europe and in developing countries; that the EU responds to humanitarian crises and protects children in conflict, invests in health and education and protects the rights of children in migration. Save the Children Europe brings together expertise in both advocacy and donor relations. The European Commission is one of Save the Children’s primary institutional donors and an important partner for our work: our office in Brussels coordinates this important partnership. Save the Children Europe works with the EU institutions to break cycles of poverty, inequality and conflict, invest in children inside and outside Europe’s borders, and to listen to children’s voices, involving them in decisions which affect their futures. In order to influence key decisions taken in Brussels, we collaborate closely with Save the Children offices across the EU and with staff in our programmes around the world.

A Principal's Promise: Ending the Cycle of Violence in Rural Cambodia
"Collaborating closely between the School-Based Child Protection Mechanism and the Community-Based Child Protection Mechanism is crucial for solving issues and protecting children from violence, while also enhancing their mental and physical health," stated Meng Heang, who effectively handled and referred child protection cases at his school.
Meng Heang is a 56-year-old school principal at a primary school located in a rural area of Kang Meas district, Kampong Cham, Cambodia, where some schools still face ongoing challenges, as many children report experiencing various forms of violence both at school and in the community. These issues persist due to the ineffective child protection system.
