Save the Children është një organizatë udhëheqëse e pavarur për fëmijët në botë. Ne
punojmë në 120 vende. Ne shpëtojmë jetë fëmijësh; ne luftojmë për të drejtat e tyre; ne
i ndihmojmë ata të përmbushin potencialin e tyre. Ne punojmë së bashku me partnerët
tanë, për të frymëzuar përparime në mënyrën se si bota i trajton fëmijët, për të arritur
ndryshimin e menjëhershëm dhe të qëndrueshëm në jetën e tyre.
