Profile

Too many children are still dying because they haven't got enough food or because they can't get treatment for simple illnesses. Millions aren't getting an education and are being exploited and abused. This is not good enough.

Save the Children aim to change this, partly by working directly with children, and partly by using their experience and influence to persuade governments and others who are responsible for children to do the right thing by them.

Save the Children seek out the most marginalised children, wherever they are in the world, so that means they work in a really broad range of countries, from fragile states like Afghanistan, to developed countries like the UK. They work closely with their colleagues in the International Save the Children Alliance, both in programmes with children and in our international campaigns and advocacy work.
