Mission & Goals
Save the Children Europe carries out advocacy and donor relations on behalf of 13 European Save the Children organisations. Like other Save the Children organisations, its members work with and for children in their own countries and abroad. The principle of children's rights lies at the heart of Save the Children Europe, which aims to help further children's rights in Europe and elsewhere by promoting children's interests in European policy making, funding and programmes. Save the Children is the world's largest independent organisation for children. We employ approximately 20,000 people across the globe and work on the ground in over 100 countries to help children affected by crises, or those that need better healthcare, education and protection. We also campaign and advocate at the highest levels to realise children’s rights and ensure their voices are heard.
