Quarterly newsletter MESSAGE FROM COUNTRY DIRECTOR Dear colleagues, Welcome to Save the Children's second quarterly newsletter! Working closely with the government is key to realising the goals set out in our CSP; this edition of the newsletter features highlights from our work in Lodhran where we introduced child focused health education, identification cards for Lady Health Workers and inaugurated a trauma centre. You will also find coverage of the Stolen Childhoods Report launched by Save the Children on 1st June – International Children's Day. The report, the first in an annual series, explores the major reasons why childhood comes to an early end by focusing on a set of life changing events that signal the disruption of childhood and ranking 172 countries based on where childhood is most intact and where it is most eroded. Pakistan did not fare well in the report in terms of the high number of malnourished infants and children and the number of children of school going age who are not enrolled in formal schooling systems. These facts are not news to us, but should act as an indicator of the direction we should be headed in. Indeed our excellent track record, both in education themed projects and our work with malnourished children and women, position us well in this regard. We have also recently submitted a proposal for a project focusing on out-of-school girls in Pakistan and are hopeful of a positive outcome. This edition of the newsletter also features two very interesting case studies from Lodhran and Jacobabad. Both these stories represent milestones for Save the Children Pakistan in the areas of gender equality, education for girls and maternal and child health. Stories like these serve as constant reminders that positive change is just around the corner, as long as we work diligently towards our goals. Happy reading!
