Poverty Kills Childhood : Save the Children UK

Strong action – not just by politicians but by every member of society – is needed now to prevent the loss of a generation.

All major parties in Parliament now agree the UK should meet its international aid commitments to save the lives of children and their mothers in the world's poorest communities, and take action to eradicate child poverty at home by 2020. Now we want to see that translated into action - and you can help us achieve it.

What we want

Our new government must act now to lift children out of poverty.

Why should I care?

How does poverty affect children in the UK and abroad?

What we’re doing

We're working with local communities to ensure politicians put children on the agenda.
