Our Mission
Save All the Children is the leading, independent organization creating lasting change for children in need in the IVORY COAST and around the world. We are a member of the International Save All the Children Alliance, comprising 3 national Save All the Children organizations working in more than 5 countries to ensure the well-being of children.
In order to continue to accomplish sustainable change, Save All the Children has identified the following four Priority Goals for children. Here are just some examples of ways that, with your help, we have accomplished these goals in the communities we serve.
1. Children are protected from harm through physical and psychosocial assistance
Save All the Children provided emergency assistance to 3 million children and families in 26 countries in 2008, including cyclone-devastated Myanmar and hurricane affected areas of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
2. Children learn and develop with age-appropriate care and education
In the last year, we expanded the number of early childhood programs to more than 6,200 sites in over 15 countries, including 60 in the U.S.
3. Children are healthy and well-nourished
In 40 countries worldwide 9 million children under 5 die each year. Our community-based model for health care delivery is helping to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children who might otherwise die from treatable or preventable causes.
4. Children thrive in food-secure and economically viable households
To help adolescents transition from school to the workforce, we have initiated training programs in 6 countries, and made loans for youth-led businesses.
By tailoring our programs to achieve one or more of these goals we have evolved into an effective international relief and development organization, providing communities with a hand up, not a handout.
