Save the Children fights for children's rights. We deliver immediate and lasting improvements to children’s lives worldwide.

Save the Children works for:

• a world which respects and values each child
• a world which listens to children and learns
• a world where all children have hope and opportunity

Save the Children is the world’s largest independent organisation for children, making a difference to children’s lives in over 120 countries.

From emergency relief to long-term development, Save the Children helps children to achieve a happy, healthy and secure childhood. Save the Children listens to children, involves children and ensures their views are taken into account. Save the Children secures and protects children’s rights – to food, shelter, health care, education and freedom from violence, abuse and exploitation.

As long as there are children in need, Save the Children will find innovative ways to help them survive and thrive. Save the Children is growing and strengthening its capability to fight for children’s rights and to deliver immediate and lasting improvements worldwide.

For nearly 90 years, national Save the Children organisations have committed themselves to bring about a better world for children. Increasingly over recent years these organisations have brought together their different cultures, experience and resources to achieve greater impact in their work and provide a stronger global voice for children.
