Save the Children believes all children have a right to a happy, healthy and secure start in life. But that's far from the experience of millions of children around the world. Instead, their childhoods are marred by poverty, ill-health, war, violence and discrimination. And not just in poorer parts of the globe - far too many children in the UK grow up in circumstances that deny their potential.

Save the Children is committed to narrowing the gap between reality and our ideal. We start by listening to children - learning about their lives, their hopes and views. We support practical projects which involve children and their families in improving their day-to-day lives. We also use our global experience and research to lobby for changes that will benefit all children, including future generations.

Save the Children is working to create a better world for children. We work to help children in the world's most impoverished communities. We are part of the Save the Children Alliance, which aims to be a truly international movement for children.
