Save the Children is a leading international organization
helping children in need around the world. First established in the UK in 1919,
separate national organizations have been set up in more than twenty-eight
countries, sharing the aim of improving the lives of children through
education, health care and economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in
cases of natural disasters, war and conflict. Today, twenty-eight national Save
the Children organizations participate in the International Save the Children
Alliance - a global network of nonprofit organizations working in over 120
countries around the world. In addition to promoting greater public awareness
of the needs and rights of children worldwide, Alliance members coordinate
emergency relief efforts, helping to protect children from the effects of
disasters, both natural and manmade. We also work with the existing Food and
Nutrition Partnership Forum to influence government and donors to bring the
issue of malnutrition and poverty into the national agenda.
