Education
Save the Children believes that all children have the right to learn in a safe and happy environment. Save the Children works with families and communities to ensure that all children receive the support and care they need in the years leading up to school. Once in primary education, the organisation works to ensure that all children learn to read and write, and that no child’s learning stops because they are caught up in a crisis situation.
