As a global leader in child health, Save the Children keeps children healthy and thriving. 

We led the massive worldwide effort that helped reduce newborn deaths by over 40% since 2000, saving 1.5 million babies each year. Still, an estimated 5.3 million young children die each year from entirely preventable diseases, such as pneumonia, malaria and diarrhea. 

For children and families facing the world’s worst crises, we will continue to help treat and prevent injuries, illnesses and diseases – including nutrition-related conditions such as malnutrition – and ensure children can access clean water, sanitation services and safe shelters.

We know the world’s children deserve better. As the world’s leading expert on childhood, we have the expertise and the global presence to deliver what’s needed now for children.
