The Smaller Picture: A closer look at the children who inspire us

Every year, we reach tens of millions of children across 120 countries through our work. We help children survive, learn and stay safe, and working in partnership with others, we speak up for and alongside children to secure wide and longlasting change for the world’s most deprived and marginalised children. This is the bigger picture of our work. But behind these numbers are the stories of change for the individual children we reach. By painting these smaller pictures of impact in our Annual Review, we hope to put our work around the world into context and give a clearer sense of what we do for and with children.

Our annual report paints a picture of some of our achievements and the challenges we still have to overcome. Over the past year, our sector has been under increasing scrutiny and it is clear that we have not always lived up to the high standards that people rightly demand of us. We are determined to put this right.
