Save the Children is an international non-governmental organisation, which believes every child deserves a future. Around the world, we give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.
Save the Children comprises Save the Children International and 28 member organisations working to deliver change for children in around 120 countries.
Save the Children International delivers our programmes internationally to ensure we achieve the greatest possible impact for children. We have a small centre and five regional offices.
Around the world, we:
- provide lifesaving supplies and emotional support for children caught up in disasters like floods, famine and wars
- campaign for long-term change to improve children’s lives
- improve children’s access to the food and healthcare they need to thrive
- secure a good quality education for the children who need it most
- protect the world’s most vulnerable children, including those separated from their families because of war, natural disasters, extreme poverty and exploitation
- work in the poorest countries to help families out of the poverty cycle, so they can feed and support their children
Our holistic approach achieves sustainable results. By working with others, Save the Children has played a role in reducing child deaths in recent years, from 12 million a year to 5.9 million a year. But we need to do more.
