Save the Children

Save the Children fights for children in the UK and around the world who suffer from poverty, disease, injustice and violence. We work with them to find lifelong answers to the problems they face.

Education

Education gives children from poor families a route out of poverty. But many children never get the chance to go to school. Save the Children works to help the poorest children go to school. And to make sure that school is somewhere worth going - with books, equipment, and teachers who are trained and turn up every day.

Child Protection

No child should have to grow up in fear and without hope. But millions do. And poverty, family breakdown and violence mean many end up in trouble with the law. Save the Children works with children at risk in the UK and around the world to protect them from violence, and help them change their lives.

Emergencies

In emergencies, children are at great risk. Whether they are caught up in natural disasters - like earthquakes, floods and drought - or wars and conflict, children are often in the most danger, are more likely to get sick and be exploited, and are often separated from their families. Save the Children saves and transforms lives in emergencies. As well as basic humanitarian aid, we also set up medical centres and schools, and trace children and families, reuniting them where possible.

Healthcare

This year, 11 million children - the same as the total number of children in the UK - will die from diseases that could be prevented or easily treated if healthcare was affordable and fair. But it's not, and it's the poorest children who are paying the highest price. Save the Children works to make sure that children no longer die of preventable and treatable diseases just because they're poor.
