Together, we save children’s lives, fight for their rights and help them fulfil their potential.
Save the Children’s origins lie in emergency response and it has remained central to our work ever since. With the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide the organisation is in the process of increasing its standby capacity to support programmes.
