Save the Children
www.savethechildren.org
Save the Children is a leading nonprofit humanitarian relief and
development organization working in more than 40 countries
throughout the developing world and the United States. Our mission
is to create lasting, positive change in the lives of children in
need.
The history of Save the Children is a story of positive change and
people - millions of people in thousands of communities around the
globe - working together to create opportunities for the world's
children to live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. In January
1932 in a small room in New York City, a group of concerned
citizens gathered to respond to the needs of the proud people of
Appalachia hard hit by the Great Depression.
The inspiration and vision for Save the Children came in great
part from the international children's rights movement begun in
England in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb, founder of the British Save the
Children Fund. From this early effort in the hills and hollows of
Harlan County, Kentucky, grew a self-help philosophy and practice
still at work today in more than 45 countries: providing
communities with a hand up, not a handout.
This approach - working with families to define and solve the
problems their children and communities face and utilizing a broad
array of strategies to ensure self-sufficiency - is the
cornerstone of all Save the Children's programs. Through the
decades, we have evolved into a leading international relief and
development organization. Countless events and achievements have
shaped the development of our organization and helped change the
lives of the children we serve.
Save the Children is
also a member of the International Save the Children Alliance,
comprising 29 independent, national Save the Children organizations
working in more than 100 countries to ensure the well-being of
children around the world.
