Mission: Our mission is to create lasting, positive change in the lives of children in need in the U.S. and around the world.

We provide a wide range of programs, including:

* Training community health workers to care for newborns and young children;

Organizational Structure

Save the Children is an international not-for-profit organization whose mission is to create lasting, positive change in the lives of children in need. We provide a wide range of programs, including:
• Training new mothers with prenatal care
• Supplying life-saving immunizations for young children
• Building schools in developing countries
• Improving literacy and nutrition for children living in rural poverty in the U.S.

Disaster Program

When major disasters strike the U.S., Save the Children responds to the needs of children and families. In each emergency response, Save the Children’s Domestic Emergency Unit structures its programs to respond to community needs. However, there are several areas on which we often focus our work:
Creating Child-Friendly Spaces- safe, designated areas where children can play socialize and begin to recover- in shelters and other gathering places, like disaster assistance centers.
Helping children and their caregivers reestablish a sense of safety and normalcy through our menu of disaster recovery and resilience-building programs. These programs also help children and caregivers build the skills to cope with their experiences.
Supporting organizations that children and families depend on, like child care and after-school programs, through small grants for recovery purposes.
Working with families living in temporary housing sites to create protective environments for children and improve access to services.
