What Save the Children has been doing: Our breakthroughs

2 AFTER SCHOOL children had nowhere to go WE introduced the idea of playgroups During World War II we developed play centres to stop children playing in bombsites. After the war we developed this idea into playgroups, now adopted for children worldwide

THEY expected the poorest children to last whole day on thin air WE campaigned for free dinners and milk in schools In the 1940s we got the law changed and the UK’s poorest children still benefit from this today

THOUSANDS of children are separated from their families in conflicts and disasters every year WE found new, safer ways to reunite them Our family tracing systems helped reunite 45,000 children with their families after the Rwandan genocide in 1994

THEY thought disabled children couldn’t learn in mainstream schools WE knew they could and should In the 1990s we pioneered new ways to educate disabled children that overturned world opinion, and got millions the chance to go to school for the first time

6 TODAY, WERE WORKING WORLDWIDE in 56 countries, including hard-to-get-into, dangerous ones like Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Afghanistan

7 AND WE’RE WORKING IN THE UK TOO Did you know that one in ten children in the UK lives in severe poverty? We’re campaigning to get rid of child poverty in the UK by 2020

What Save the Children will do next

9 NEARLY 10 MILLION children won’t live to see their 5th birthday this year YOU help us stop this. We know the solutions, like vaccinations, mosquito nets and enough food. We just need the world to see how easy it is.

HAVING A BABY in Liberia is scary. And it costs up to 1500 Liberian Dollars to deliver. Trouble is, that’s a month’s salary. YOU make governments realise that healthcare fees don’t work

WE WANT TO PROTECT CHILDREN with knowledge, not guns YOU help us replace fighting with learning Over and over we’ve seen that education is the only way to stop the vicious circle that keeps many children exploited or trapped as child soldiers

12 WE KNOW there’s no time to waste when disaster strikes YOUR DONATIONS help us stay ready to act quickly After the tsunami, we got emergency help to hundreds of thousands of children. We’re still there, helping communities rebuild

13 Let’s work together to make dramatic changes for children
