Save the Children is a leading international organization helping children in need around the world. First established
in the UK in 1919, separate national
organizations
have been set up in more than twenty-eight countries, sharing the aim
of improving the lives of children through education, health care and
economic opportunities, as well as emergency aid in cases of natural
disasters, war and conflict. Today, twenty-eight national Save the
Children organizations participate in the International Save the Children Alliance - a global network of
nonprofit organizations working in over 120 countries

the needs and rights of children worldwide, Alliance members coordinate

to bring the issue of malnutrition and poverty into the national agenda.
