Save the Children

Global independent charity improving children's lives

Save the Children is a global, independent charity that helps children in crisis and everyday life. It works in about 120 countries by running programs and campaigns that aim to keep children alive, protect them, help them develop, and let them participate in society. The organization directly delivers services and also advocates for policy changes, working with local partners and communities. Its approach combines field programs with advocacy and partnerships to reach millions of children—last year more than 55 million were helped through its work. What sets it apart is its large international footprint, its clear focus on children’s rights, and its commitment to transparency, collaboration, and integrity while pursuing concrete, measurable changes. The goal is to ensure every child has the right to survival, protection, development, and participation, and to drive immediate and lasting improvements in children’s lives.
