Our Journey:
A Commitment to Social Responsibility
Save the Child Foundation was founded on the belief that every child deserves safety, dignity, and opportunity. Driven by a core philosophy of social responsibility, we exist to protect, educate, and empower children in need—because no child should be left behind.
We are a movement of socially responsible volunteers, united by an unshakable belief: gender equality is the heartbeat of all change. While we serve every child in need, we place the girl child at the center of our universe—because empowering her transforms families, communities, and futures.
Driven by purpose, not profit, we fuel our mission through:
-
Protection for vulnerable children (especially girls at risk)
-
Education as liberation (prioritizing girls’ access to schooling)
-
Health & hygiene (menstrual equity, and sanitation)
-
Emotional resilience through SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) programs
-
Emergency relief with a focus on women-led households
-
Combating hunger through nutrition schemes for malnourished girls
