Save the Children

                 This blog is about Save the Children. This is a non-profit that aims to do just as it says; save children. This organization invests in childhood in order to help them and give them better opportunities than they have now and to help give them a future and even a home. They give kids a fresh start, more opportunities, and protection. They also provide the support and resources necessary to start over and aim for a better future. They offer them education and all the help that they need. They truly change these children’s lives and the impact is far more than you could imagine.

                They are active in 120 countries and have helped over 140 million children, with many more to come. They are mainly active in the US, Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Eurasia. They provide protection, education, emergency response, health and nutrition. They aim to stop hunger, depression, and even diseases such as HIV and AIDS.

                This organization was started in 1919 as an effort to get rid of starvation during World War I. They promote children’s rights, provide relief, support, and comfort, and offer health care and economic opportunities. They also have “emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts”.

                You can get involved by donating, shopping, joining them, or even becoming a child sponsor. If you chose to become a sponsor, you could create an incredible bond with a child and change their life. You would be providing “food, health care, education, and much more” for under $1 a day. If you are interested in staying up to date, you can also sign up to get emails about what is going on with the organization and tips on how to help make a difference. I think that this is a great group and am interested in learning more about them.
