Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the world.

Partnering with schools and community organizations, Save the Children provides high-quality early-childhood development services for children from birth to age five and literacy and physical activity/nutrition programs for children from kindergarten through eighth grade.
