So you’re thinking about giving, and you’re wondering…
Why Save the Children?
(We're so glad you asked!)
Reason #1:
You Share Save the Children’s Values
You believe, as we do, that every child deserves a future. Every last child.
The world has made great progress for children. More children are alive and thriving today than ever before.
But here’s the problem. Millions of children in the U.S. and around the world still aren’t getting what they deserve. We’re talking about children in need. Dying, when the world knows how to save them. Vulnerable children in poverty. Denied an education. Forced to flee violence. Orphaned, abused, abandoned. Children with no reason to smile. No hope for the future.
The world’s children deserve better.
Children at Risk
Children at Risk
Every day, 16,000 children die before their 5th birthday, mostly from preventable causes.
NO SCHOOL
1 in 6 children worldwide isn’t in school, missing out on critical learning.
VIOLENCE
Conflict is forcing 1 in 80 children to flee, risking everything just to survive.
Reason #2:
