The Save the Children Fund, commonly known as Save the Children, is an international non-governmental organisation that promotes children's rights, provides relief and helps support children in developing countries. It was established in the United Kingdom in 1919 in order to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts.

In addition to the UK organisation, there are 29 other national Save the Children organisations who are members of the Save the Children Alliance, a global network of nonprofit organisations supporting local partners and Save the Children International in more than 120 countries around the world.

Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In the United States and around the world, we give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.

Our Work for Children

Save the Children is committed to conducting our programs and operations in a manner that keeps children safe and protects them from harm. We insist on 100% accountability for safeguarding the children we are privileged enough to serve. All Save the Children representatives—including employees, board members, partners and volunteers—are expected to conduct themselves according to this commitment. We have clear procedures to prevent, report and respond to any risks to children.

No matter the challenge, we always put children first in everything we do. Ensuring their safety and well-being is a promise we make to them and our supporters alike.

Scarred Lands and Wounded Lives is a compelling documentary exploring the under-reported environmental impacts of war and preparations for war. The film confronts the immensely broad ecological and human ramifications of everything from technological development and natural resource exhaustion to weapons testing and modern warfare itself.

Ecosystems around the world are in distress from forces of humanity’s own making: increasing population, unsustainable demands on natural resources, habitat and species loss, and climate change. One of the most destructive of human behaviors – war – is not commonly included as a contributor to the growing global environmental crisis.

Yet, in all its stages, from the production of weapons through combat, military operations pollute land, air, and water, destroy entire ecosystems, and drain limited natural resources.

Using archival material from the Civil War through more recent wars, along with expert testimony and eyewitness accounts, the film clearly presents the environmental and human cost of combat, and argues for public scrutiny of the ecological and human impact of war as essential to a more sustainable – and secure – world.

Science has been at the center of important scientific discovery since its founding in 1880—with seed money from Thomas Edison. Today, Science continues to publish the very best in research across the sciences, with articles that consistently rank among the most cited in the world. In the last half century alone, Science published:

• The entire human genome for the first time
• Never-before seen images of the Martian surface
• The first studies tying AIDS to human immunodeficiency virus

A trailblazer in online publishing as well, the Science family of publications has grown to include two online journals, Science Translational Medicine and Science Signaling—and the bold, new open-access journal, Science Advances.

Science Translational Medicine is an essential platform for peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary research driving the latest medical advances. Science Signaling offers original review articles, protocols and teaching resources for the growing field of cellular signal transduction. Science Advances represents the next generation of online publishing, with rapid publication of significant, full-length research that is available free to readers.

The Science family of journals is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s oldest and largest general science organization. The nonprofit AAAS serves 10 million people through primary memberships and affiliations with some 262 scientific societies and academies.

A voice for science and scientists everywhere, AAAS fulfills its mission to “advance science and serve society” by communicating the value of science to the public, helping governments formulate science policy, promoting advancements in science education and diversity, and helping scientists develop their careers.

Science Advances is the offspring of Science, created by the opportunities and imperatives of digital, open access publishing.

As American Association for the Advancement of Science’s first open access online-only journal, Science Advances will:

Publish significant, innovative original research that advances the frontiers of science and extends the standards of excellence established by Science.

Publish in a broad array of fields including computer, engineering, environmental, life, mathematical, physical, and social sciences.

SciELO – un modelo para publicación electrónica en países en desarrollo

El acceso adecuado y actualizado a la información científico técnica es esencial para el desarrollo económico y social, en especial para apoyar los procesos de toma de decisión en la planificación, formulación y aplicación de políticas públicas o para apoyar el desarrollo y la práctica profesional. El resultado de la investigación científica es comunicado y validado principalmente a través de la publicación en revistas científicas. Ese proceso es válido para los países desarrollados o en desarrollo. Sin embargo, las revistas científicas de los países en desarrollo enfrentan graves barreras de distribución y diseminación, lo que limita el acceso y el uso de la información científica generada localmente.

SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online (Biblioteca Científica Electrónica en Línea) es un modelo para la publicación electrónica cooperativa de revistas científicas en Internet. Especialmente desarrollado para responder a las necesidades de la comunicación científica en los países en desarrollo y particularmente de América Latina y el Caribe, el modelo proporciona una solución eficiente para asegurar la visibilidad y el acceso universal a su literatura científica, contribuyendo para la superación del fenómeno conocido como 'ciencia perdida'. Además, el Modelo SciELO contiene procedimientos integrados para la medida del uso y del impacto de las revistas científicas.

El Modelo SciELO es el producto de la cooperación entre FAPESP (http://www.fapesp.br ) - la Fundación de Apoyo a la Investigación del Estado de São Paulo, BIREME (http://www.bireme.br) - Centro Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Información en Ciencias de la Salud, así como instituciones nacionales e internacionales relacionadas con la comunicación científica y editores científicos. Un proyecto piloto, envolviendo 10 revistas brasileñas de diferentes áreas del conocimiento, fue llevado a cabo con éxito entre Marzo de 1997 y Mayo de 1998, con el desarrollo y la evaluación de una metodología adecuada para la publicación electrónica en Internet. Desde Junio de 1998 el proyecto opera regularmente, incorporando nuevos títulos de revistas y expandiendo su operación para otros países. A partir de 2002, el Proyecto conta con el apoyo del CNPq (http://www.cnpq.br ) - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico.

El SERIDA es un organismo público del Principado de Asturias con personalidad jurídica propia, creado mediante la Ley 5/1999, que tiene por finalidad contribuir a la modernización y mejora de las capacidades del sector agroalimentario regional mediante el impulso y ejecución de la investigación y el desarrollo tecnológico agroalimentario, a fin de conseguir una mejora de la productividad, la diversificación en el sector y la elevación de las rentas de los activos primarios.

Desde que el Gobierno del Principado de Asturias asumió las competencias en investigación agraria, éstas fueron gestionadas por la consejería competente en materia de agroalimentación, que actualmente es la Consejería de Agroganadería y Recursos Autóctonos. En esta consejería, dentro de la Dirección General de Agroalimentación, es el Servicio Regional de Investigación y Desarrollo Agroalimentario (SERIDA) quien ejecuta los programas de investigación agraria y alimentaria.

Federación SETEM nace en 1995 como fruto de la asociación de las asociaciones SETEM de distintas comunidades autónomas, cada una de ellas con entidad jurídica propia, pero todas con un objetivo común: sensibilizar a la Ciudadanía sobre la desigualdad Norte-Sur y sus causas, promoviendo las transformaciones personales y colectivas necesarias para conseguir un mundo más justo.

La primera organización SETEM nace en Catalunya en 1968. Posteriormente se fundan los distintos SETEM en las distintas comunidades autónomas. En 1991: SETEM Andalucía, SETEM MCM (Madrid Castilla-La Mancha), SETEM Hego Haizea (Euskadi); en 1992 SETEM Aragón, SETEM Navarra/Nafarroa y SETEM La Rioja; en 1993 SETEM Comunitat Valenciana y Amarante SETEM (Galicia); en 2008 SETEM Extremadura.

Como Federación SETEM, de manera coordinada y adaptándose a las peculiaridades de cada SETEM autonómico, llevamos a cabo desde nuestros inicios una serie de actividades comunes:

La sensibilización y formación (Educación para el Desarrollo) a través de cursos, viajes, talleres, publicaciones y campañas.
La promoción de alternativas, principalmente de Comercio Justo, Finanzas Éticas, por medio de campañas (Campaña Ropa Limpia, Cambia Tus Zapatos. Banca armada...), programas especializados y venta de productos.
La solidaridad con organizaciones del Sur mediante intercambios y actividades de cooperación.
Como consecuencia de los años de crisis económica en España, en 2013 se produjo el cierre de la asociación SETEM Aragón y en 2015 el de SETEM Extremadura.

En la actualidad Federación SETEM está formada por ocho asociaciones in dependientes que funcionamos de manera coordinada bajo la normativa de los Estatutos de Federación aunque cada asociación tiene sus propios Estatutos de funcionamiento particular.

The Seychelles Legal Information Institute (SeyLII) offers free and anonymous access to case law, legislation and secondary legal materials from the Seychelles. SeyLII is an independent, self-funded organisation and needs your support.

SeyLII was established in 2012 under the auspices of the Judiciary of Seychelles and with the support of AfricanLII.  It became an independent registered association in 2015.
