Inspiring breakthroughs in the way the world treats children. Save the Children International Annual Review 2012

Over the last century, Save the Children – in partnership with others – has inspired breakthroughs in the way the world treats children. Now, for the first time, Save the Children is proactively setting out to inspire breakthroughs within our core competencies of health and nutrition, education, child protection and child rights governance – as set out in these pages. Save the Children committed to the first of these breakthroughs four years ago by launching a global campaign to stop children dying from preventable causes before their fifth birthday. This has shown that dramatic change is possible with a concerted effort.

In 2012 , Save the Children once again touched the lives of over 125 million children worldwide and directly reached 45 million children.
