What does Save the Children do?

Save the Children International is a leading independent children's organization, established in 1919 in Great Britain by Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton. It operates globally with 29 national member organizations in over 100 countries. With more than a century of experience, the organization advocates for children's rights and welfare, evolving from its initial focus on humanitarian aid to a broader mission. The organization provides a range of services, including health and survival initiatives, quality education programs, child protection during crises, community development projects, and rapid humanitarian response. Save the Children reaches tens of millions of children each year and has significantly contributed to reducing child mortality rates. With a strategic ambition for 2030, the organization aims to ensure that all children survive, learn, and are protected from violence. It primarily relies on private charitable contributions and employs innovative fundraising methods, such as child sponsorship programs.
