Save the Children

Save the Children
exists to help every child
reach their full potential.
In the UK and around the world,
we make sure children stay safe,
healthy and keep learning,
so they can become
who they want to be.

We lead the way on tackling problems like pneumonia, hunger and protecting children in war, while making sure each child’s unique needs are cared for.

We find new ways to reach children who need us most, no matter where they’re growing up.

For a century, we’ve stood up for children and made sure their voices are heard. We wrote the treaty that sets out the rights of every child, and we’ve been upholding them every day since.

We know we can’t do this alone.

Together with children, supporters and partners, we work to help every child become who they want to be.

A Global Coronavirus Poem Written by Children Around the World Under Lockdown

In the past 30 years, the number of children dying before their fifth birthday has more than halved.

But so many still die from preventable/treatable conditions. An estimated 5.4m children under the age of five died in 2017 alone.

There is so much more to be done.

We’ve helped more children survive by:

• protecting children in humanitarian emergencies from disease/hunger

• tackling pneumonia, the biggest infectious killer of children

• fighting malnutrition, the underlying cause of one third of child deaths.
