About Save the Children
Save the Children believes every child deserves a future.

In the United States and around the world, we give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

We do whatever it takes for children - every day and in times of crisis - transforming their lives and the future we share.

Our work for children and their families requires that we commit—at every opportunity—to work together to identify and dismantle persistent systemic and structural racism, inequality, and any other forms of discrimination in this country and beyond.

As an anti-racist organization, Save the Children will not tolerate discrimination in any form—in our employment practices, amongst our staff, in our leadership or toward the people we serve.

We stand in so
