Campaigns to Help Children in Need Save the Children has launched several important campaigns to promote important issues for children in need. Survive to 5 Survive to 5 is Save the Children's campaign to make survival a reality for more children who lack basic health care. Every day, nearly 27,000 children under the age of 5 die from preventable or treatable illnesses like pneumonia, diarrhea, and newborn complications. We can save about 60% of these children with simple, proven solutions provided by skilled community health care workers. 10 million children die needlessly every year. Be 1 of the 10 million people who take action to stop it. Learn more and find out how you can help. Rewrite the Future More than 39 million children living in countries wracked by war and armed conflict are being left without the chance to go to school. Save the Children’s five-year Rewrite the Future education initiative seeks to help millions of children in conflict-affected areas gain access to and reap the current and future benefits of a quality education.  State of the World's Mothers Every year, our State of the World's Mothers report reminds us of the inextricable link between the well-being of mothers and that of their children.  Seventy-five years of on-the-ground experience has demonstrated that when mothers have health care, education and economic opportunity, both they and their children have the best chance to survive and thrive. Each year a different issue that impacts mothers and their children is highlighted. Learn More.
