Our Approach
Since 2008, Save the Child Foundation has scaled more than 950+ fiscally sponsored projects, fueled social change in 6 countries and mobilized $ 5.1 million for impact. At Save the Child Foundation, we are guided by the Sustainable Development Goals, a set of measurable commitments made by all the countries in the United Nations to their citizens. From the shared priorities, we have identified a subset of areas - advancing gender equality, good health and wellbeing, education and empowerment where we have relationships and expertise to be part of the solution and where transformational progress is unlikely without our involvement. Geographically, we seek to help those who live in places with high vulnerability of abuse, discrimination, lack of access and opportunities and who are burdened by extreme poverty.
Every Save the Child Foundation project is inspired by the stories of the people we serve.

Gender Equality is at the center of universe of everything we do.
We focus on issues we think are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives. For each issue we work on, we fund innovative ideas that could help remove barriers . Our work is measured against the following 6 Global Goals of United Nations and we engage and invest in Partnerships aligned to the targets of Goal 17.
Platforms for Change
Save the Child Foundation is committed to driving impactful change through our funding initiatives across three key areas: Gender Equality, Global Health, and Education. We recognize addressing Hunger, Water, and Sanitation—through the provision of items like pads, cups, and period underwear—is crucial our mission. Additionally, we prioritize Mental Health, Maternal Health, Infant Health, the health of Special Needs Children, and Sexual and Reproductive Health initiatives. Education and Empowerment are fundamental to our success, and we take pride in supporting initiatives that foster opportunities for women's empowerment.

health
A child's health is their foundation, and for adolescent girls, this includes menstrual health. We tackle period poverty head-on by providing sustainable, dignified solutions like biodegradable and reusable pads, and menstrual cups—empowering girls to stay in school and live with confidence. Our health initiatives also extend to nurturing the well-being of children with special needs, ensuring they have access to the specialized care and support necessary for a healthy, happy life
