Save the Children works to ensure that children, their mothers and other caregivers have access to and use key health and nutrition services, and adopt healthy behaviors, in both development and emergency situations. We use evidence-based interventions to address the major causes of illness, death and malnutrition, and continue to develop innovative strategies to deliver these services most effectively to as many people as possible, especially in resource-poor and emergency situations.

Global and national advocacy and partnerships are key to informing and influencing policies and programs, and for increasing funding to serve more children. We focus our efforts on maternal and newborn health and nutrition, child health and nutrition, adolescent health, school health and nutrition, emergency health and nutrition and HIV/AIDS. Save the Children is a global organization working to ensure the well-being and protection of children in more than 120 countries.
