About Us - Save the Children India

According to www.savethechildren.in : Save the Children is an international organisation working for children's rights in 120 countries. In India, we are working across 12 states to ensure that every child has a happy and healthy childhood.

They are determined to build a world in which
every child attains the right to survival,
protection, development and participation.
They not only save children from the hardships of life, but we also work towards abolishing these hardships.

Approach:
1. Child Survival
Nearly 1.73 million children die in India every
year due to lack of treatment. We work with
communities and the government health
systems to improve child and maternal health
care.

2. Child Protection
India has the largest number of child labourers in the world. We work to expose and prevent exploitative child labour practices. They also have child labour prevention programs in areas like West Bengal & Bihar where childtrafficking is rampant.

3. Education
7.1 million children in India do not go to school.They work to ensure that all children join school. This helps them stay out of child labour as well as in building a promising future for themselves.

4. Responding to Emergencies and Disaster
Risk Reduction
Children are the worst affected victims of
natural disasters. We work to ensure their
right to survival and development after an
emergency by providing immediate support.
We also train children to resist critical
situations during natural disasters.
