Save the Children was founded in the United States in 1932 as a nonprofit child-assistance organization to make lasting positive change in the lives of children in need. They work in 19 states across the United States as well as in 47 other countries in the developing world to help children and families improve their health, education and economic opportunities. They also mobilize rapid life-support assistance for children and families caught in the tragedies of natural and man-made disasters.
Save the Children is a member of the International Save the Children Alliance, an association of 26 independent organizations that provide child-oriented emergency response, development assistance and advocacy of children's rights in more than 100 countries.
