Children first.
Always. Everywhere.
Building a better world for and with children.
Save the Children put children first, always and everywhere. In war, in disaster, in the face of neglect. We act relentlessly, with courage and care, to protect every childhood.
Operating in over 100 countries, we work alongside children, their families and communities in Australia, the Pacific and around the world to ensure that every child has a healthy, educated and safe future.
We protect childhoods by keeping children safe, healthy and learning, whilst tackling problems like poverty and inequality on a larger scale. Guided by children’s voices and local communities, we stay independent and uncompromising.
We stand firm for children and every action we take, every choice we make, is driven by one principle: children must come first.
Education
Learning can change a child's world. We help children access and participate in quality schooling and education.
Health
Every child has a right to survive and grow. We provide children with the support they need to thrive in the earliest years of their lives.
Child protection
Children have the right to be safe. We stand up for their protection at home, school and in their communities.
Disaster and climate
Children bear the brunt of climate change and disasters. We equip communities to prepare and adapt, and when disaster strikes, we’re there to ensure children have the care and support they need to recover.
