Save The Children
Save the Children is the UK’s leading international children’s charity, working to create a better future for children. In a world where children are denied basic human rights, we champion the right of all children to a happy, healthy and secure childhood. We put the reality of children’s lives at the heart of everything we do.
On the eve of the first international, high level and public meeting of the Extractive
Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) Save the Children, the UK’s leading
international children’s charity, is calling on governments and company leaders to seize
the opportunity to increase financial transparency, in order to alleviate the corruption and
conflict afflicting more than 700 million poor children in mineral-rich countries.
