Driver and Logistic Associate

Save the Children believes that every child deserves a future.

In the Philippines and around the world, we work hard every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm. When crises strike, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave.

For more than 40 years in the Philippines, Save the Children continues to ensure that children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

Children are at the front and center of everything that we do and securing children’s rights is the foundation of our work. We work with children, the government, and multi-sectoral stakeholders in developing policies, plans, budgets, campaigns, and programs to ensure that children will have equitable access to quality and inclusive basic services, and have their rights protected and fulfilled.

We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – to positively transform their lives and the future we share.
