Why Save the Children?
There are many charity donation websites in Australia, but Save the Children Australia stands out due to its focus on providing children with a healthy start in life, access to education, and protection from harm. Save the Children believes every child deserves a bright future. When crises strike and children are most vulnerable, we respond rapidly to save lives and ensure their unique needs are met and their voices heard.

With a century of experience, we have developed comprehensive programs and emergency responses that have positively impacted millions of children. Our high level of accountability ensures that over 80 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to those in need, making us one of the most efficient and effective charities to donate to.
