At Save the Children, we believe that even small acts of generosity can create lasting change that ripples throughout children’s lives, their families, their communities and our world. Ultimately, transforming the future we all share.

Our extraordinary history proves the point. One hundred years ago, in 1919, the world was forever changed by a woman who took action. In fact, she was so compelled by the suffering of children in post-World War I Europe that she boldly declared the world’s children have rights. That woman was Eglantyne Jebb, our founder. Her cause was saving children. A cause that soon became the first global movement for children and continues to inspire our work to this day. In an everchanging world, thanks to supporters like you, we’re changing millions of lives!

In 2018, we reached 134 million children in 120 countries, including more than 447,000 right here in the United States. Children whose lives are better, whose futures are brighter, because of your actions, your generous support, your commitment to our shared cause.

In gratitude, we invite you to review this special annual report, which not only highlights our 2018 achievements, reports on our financials and recognizes our supporters, but also commemorates our 100-year legacy of change for children. And we welcome your continued commitment.
