Campaigns to Help Children in Need
Save the Children has launched several important campaigns to promote important issues for children in need.
Save the Children USA marks its 75th year of service to children in 2007
The history of Save the Children is more than the story of an agency’s growth from a small country health unit to one of the world’s leading international relief and development organizations. It is the story of millions of people in thousands of communities around the world working together to attack the complex problems of poverty. It is the story of children given the chance to live full and healthy lives – a chance that they might not have had if it weren’t for Save the Children. More...
Caps to the Capital
After Save the Children’s State of the World's Mothers 2006 report highlighted simple, low-cost practices that could save newborn lives — like warming their heads with a knit or crochet cap — Save the Children received numerous calls and e-mails from Americans around the country wanting to organize their friends and family to knit and crochet caps for newborns in developing countries. As a result of their enthusiasm, Save the Children has partnered with the Warm Up America! Foundation to launch Knitters and Crocheters for Newborns: Caps to the Capital.
Rewrite the Future
More than 43 million children living in countries wracked by war and armed conflict are being left without the chance to go to school. Save the Children’s five-year Rewrite the Future education initiative seeks to help millions of children in conflict-affected areas gain access to and reap the current and future benefits of a quality education.
State of the World's Mothers
Every year, our State of the World's Mothers report reminds us of the inextrcable link between the well-being of mothers and that of their children. Seventy-five years of on-the-ground experience has demonstrated that when mothers have health care, education and economic opporunity, both they and their children have the best chance to survive and thrive. Each year a different issue that impacts mothers and their children is highlighted.
