Why volunteer with Save the Children?
In over 110 countries, we support children to transform their lives.
By providing live-saving short-term help, and pushing for deep-rooted social change, we help children take, their future into their own hands.
We believe every child has the right to learn.
Every child should have good food to fuel their bodies and every child should have medicine when they're sick.
