Event Highlights | Engage London 2026 # Save the Children’s Global CMS Story Save the Children has been fighting for children's rights for over 100 years. With more than 29 member countries, the federation supports survival, learning, and protection for children in some of the most difficult parts of the world. But until recently, the digital infrastructure behind that mission was fragmented — different countries running Drupal, WordPress, Kentico, and Adobe, with smaller members unable to afford the kind of digital experience the larger ones could fund. In this session from Engage London 2026, Sam Jones, Global Product Owner of the Save the Children Global CMS, joins Reena Tripathi, VP Client Partner at Material+, and Anubhav Gupta, Senior Product Manager for Digital Strategy and Growth at Material+, to walk through how they built one global CMS on Drupal and Acquia, and the governance model that made it stick. The session covers what most digital transformation stories skip: the federation problem. How do you scale one platform across 29+ countries without removing local autonomy? How do you give a member in Romania, South Africa, Italy, or Korea the same voice as the US or the UK? How do you make sure a gamification widget that drove a donation surge in Korea reaches every other market? According to the speakers, the answer was a launchable global platform that smaller members can inherit instantly — along with years of development, integrations, and reusable components — paired with a democratic governance model that keeps every country at the table. Equity, scale, and a donations funnel built so that every visitor sees the impact of their gift. Watch how they did it.
