WHY SAVE THE CHILDREN?

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.

Reason #2:

You Can Trust Our Commitment to Children

The world’s first global charity for children, founded in 1919, we continue to lead the way.

What makes Save the Children exceptional? We’re passionately committed to one goal: Giving all children the best chance for the future they deserve – a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. Every day and in times of crisis. Here in the U.S. and around the world. Whatever it takes. In fact, we’ve been the world’s leading charity for children for 100 years.

Don’t take our word for it… Charity watch groups give us top ratings for achieving incredible results for children – with proven efficiency, effectiveness and accountability. Independent of any government or religious affiliations.

But we can't do it without you!

Reason #3:

You Know You're Making a Difference

In 2018 alone, Save the Children reached more than 134 million children in 120 countries, including the U.S.

Results like these are only possible because of giving people like you. Whether you give a little or a lot. Every gift makes a world of difference for a child in need. How will you know? We’ll prove it every day. We promise to keep you informed and inspired with regular updates, including real children's stories, real world results. You'll see your generosity in action. And more.

Best of all, you'll see the smiles of children who have a better life and a brighter future. Because of you.
