Save the Children US Annual Report 2003

For more than 70 years, Save the Children has been an independent force for change in the lives of children in need, making it possible for them to grow up healthy, safe and prepared for a better future. With the trust and support of millions we have accomplished much, but we’ve never lost sight of the goal of increasing our impact and efficiency and reaching even more children.

Today, Save the Children is taking success for children to a new and higher level. Record donations, the highest efficiency ratings, growing private and federal grants, increased recognition in the media and involvement with policymakers, and accredited global leadership in critical emergency relief, as well as sustainable development, have positioned us at the forefront of the most important children’s issues of our time.

In partnership with community leaders, local organizations, national governments, and international agencies, Save the Children created lasting, positive change in the lives of more than 15 million children and families in need. Read about the details of this work within the report.
