What we stand for
We're the world's independent children's charity. We're outraged that millions of children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection. We're working flat out to get every child their rights and we're determined to make further, faster changes. How many? How fast? It's up to you.
Our values
- We're outraged by child exploitation, neglect and suffering. We demand justice for the world's poorest and most vulnerable children.
- We're ambitious about achieving dramatic change for children, and we're determined to deliver it. We never give in to those who think big changes are impossible.
- We're creative. We're looking for new and better ways to help children, drawing on different perspectives and experiences around the world - especially those of children themselves. We're not afraid to provoke and surprise people if it gets the job done.
- We keep our promises to children, to our supporters and partners, and to each other. We work hard to earn their trust, and we take responsibility for everything we say and do.
Our vision and mission
We share our vision and mission with our partners in the International Save the Children Alliance.
Our vision
