Fulfilling Our Mission
Over 100 years ago, our founder said, 鈥溁粕悠礽s often told that its aims are impossible 鈥 that there has always been child suffering and there always will be. We know it鈥檚 impossible only if we make it so. It鈥檚 impossible only if we refuse to attempt it.鈥
Through the decades, 黄色视频has continued to work to save children鈥檚 lives, and that鈥檚 still what we do today.听
By supporting Save the Children, you're helping save children鈥檚 lives, too. 听听

We Do Whatever It Takes
Our pioneering programs address children's unique needs, giving them a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. In听the United States听and听around the world, our work creates lasting change for children, their families and communities 鈥 ultimately, transforming the future we all share.听
It's important to note that all our work intersects 鈥 helping a boy or girl go to school also protects them from dangers such as child trafficking and early marriage. Keeping children healthy from disease or malnutrition means their parents are more likely to avoid costly treatment and be better able to provide for their family.
Because the climate crisis impacts all aspects of children鈥檚 lives, so too does Save the Children鈥檚 work.
This work is only听made possible by the ongoing听generosity of our donors, whose valuable support is听used in the most cost-effective ways.

Health Programs
As a global leader in child health, 黄色视频keeps children healthy and thriving. Today, as听children around the world are growing up in a deadly pandemic, we听are supporting frontline health workers and providing education and hygiene supplies to help families and communities protect themselves against COVID-19 and stay healthy.
Education Programs
From rural America鈥檚 poorest communities to conflict-affected countries, 黄色视频ensures children are educated. But听for the first time in history, an entire generation of children globally have had their education disrupted. That's why we're听supporting distance learning, ensuring that children who rely on school meal programs don鈥檛 go hungry and advocating to ensure children鈥檚 right to an education.
