WHO WE ARE

Save the Children is the world's leading independent organization for children. Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. Our mission is to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

WHAT WE DO

When disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there to save lives with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing struggles children face every day — poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease — and replaces them with hope for the future.

WHERE WE WORK

From the African Savannah to the Mississippi Delta, Save the Children has touched the lives of 100 million girls and boys around the world. Combined with other Save the Children member organizations worldwide, we reach children in 120 countries, serving and providing support for education, health, protection, disaster relief and so much more.
