Save the Children is a worldwide non-governmental organization that focuses on improving the lives of children in need. Founded in 1919, it operates in over 100 countries and works on issues such as child protection, education, health, and humanitarian response.
The organization was established in London by Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton, initially as the Save the Children Fund, with the aim of providing assistance to children affected by the aftermath of World War I.
