Education can transform kids' futures
Save the Children invests in schools, teachers and communities to bridge the global learning gap – because every child deserves the right to learn.
We help children get ready for kindergarten and learn to read by third grade — a major indicator of future success. We’re especially focused on reaching vulnerable children in rural America where early learning resources are scarce. Globally, we ensure that no child’s learning stops because they are caught up in crisis.
Your donation today supports our work to keep children healthy, educated and safe.
