What Your Dollars Really Accomplish

Does supporting Save the Children really make a lasting, sustainable difference in children’s lives? 

To answer this important question, we commissioned an independent study to assess the long-term effects of our work in Woliso, Ethiopia. 

The results were huge! The study showed multiple, long-lasting, positive changes for children and their communities, especially in the areas of education, lifetime earning potential, health & sanitation and community engagement! 

Bottom line: Giving to Save the Children is one of the best investments you can make for children. So go ahead,  feel great about giving.
