Save the Children Deutschland e.V. is the German branch of the international non-governmental organization Save the Children, which was founded in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb in London. As the largest independent children's rights organization in the world, Save the Children works in around 120 countries and advocates for the well-being and rights of children worldwide.
Our mission is to create a world where all children can live healthy and safe lives and grow up in a self-determined manner. We stand firmly by the side of children and their families in need, regardless of faith, origin, gender, or other characteristics. Human and children's rights are non-negotiable for us, and we advocate for the rights and interests of children at the political level – in Germany and worldwide[4].
Save the Children Deutschland e.V. has been a holder of the DZI Donation Seal since 2011 and meets strict standards regarding transparency, management, and effectiveness of resource use. We are signatories of the Initiative Transparent Civil Society and document our work, structures, and finances openly and comprehensively[1][4].
With our work, we strive to permanently improve the lives of children and strengthen their rights worldwide.
