Save the Children, India

Description of Save the Children, India

Save the Children is India’s leading independent child rights organization. We run 75 programmes in 19 states of India, all meant to support underprivileged children. We protect children from various forms of
harms like labour, marriage, abuse, trafficking; we put them into the fold of quality education so that they turn into self-sustaining adults; most importantly; we provide often life-saving medical and nutrition support to children battling malnutrition, infection & diarrhea. Since 2008, we have changed the lives of more than 10 million (1 crore) Indian children.
In 2017 alone, we reached 22.75 lakh children.
When crisis strikes, and children are the most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure that children’s most pertinent issues are addressed and their voices are heard. We establish this through our advocacy initiatives, media initiatives, reports & publications and more.
A major aspect of Save the Children’s work is to engage with and empower the most marginalised communities of India. We take children’s voice to the platforms where it matters the most. We engage with the Government consistently to drive policy change in the best interest of children. In everything we do, we ensure that we put children first and champion their rights all along.
