About Me |
|
QUICK FACTS At the end of 2007, there were 2.5 million children living with HIV around the world. 420,000 children became newly infected with HIV in 2007. Every minute of every day, 10 children under 5 die from hunger. Hunger is inherited. Each year 17 million children are born underweight because their mothers are malnourished. Deficiencies in iron, vitamin A and zinc are ranked among the top 10 leading causes of death through disease in developing countries.
Our vision Save the Children works for a world - which respects and values each child - which listens to children and learns - where all children have hope and opportunity Save the Children Australia aims to ensure that all children, regardless of gender, race, country of origin or religious belief have the means for survival, receive protection and have access to nutrition, primary health care and basic education. We have an international network of 28 organisations that carry out national and overseas programs for children in over 110 countries. Our reach is global.

I'd like to meet:IMAGINE... Our committed giving program for Australia
Almost 12% of Australian children fall below the poverty line. They don’t need to. Imagine... an Australia where all children are safe, healthy, well-fed, educated and happy. If all children had everything they needed to thrive and grow, chances are they would make a better world for future generations. Let’s make it our goal to create this kind of Australia. Save the Children Australia works in impoverished remote, rural and urban communities in Australia – where conditions can resemble parts of the developing world. Despite Australia’s wealth and high standard of living, many children are still consistently denied access to opportunities that could enable them to reach their potential. By providing early childhood development, literacy, physical activity, and nutrition programming we can give all Australian children a chance at a brighter future. As an Imagine supporter you are making Australian children’s dreams a reality.
Our heroes Eglantyne Jebb and her sister Dorothy Buxton These women founded the first Save the Children organisation in May 1919, in London, United Kingdom. Shocked by the aftermath of World War 1 and the Russian Revolution, they were determined to secure improvements to children’s lives. Their goal was to create 'a powerful international organisation, which would extend its ramifications to the remotest corner of the globe'. This was soon achieved – and Save the Children continues to build on this success. Eglantyne Jebb was the first to press for worldwide safeguards for children. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the United Nations in 1989 and now ratified by nearly all countries worldwide, has its roots in her pioneering work.
