About us
Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves. We work with other organizations, governments, non-profits and a variety of local partners while maintaining our own independence without political agenda or religious orientation. When disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there to save lives with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing struggles children face every day — poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease — and replaces them with hope for the future.

Every young person deserves the chance to thrive and succeed. With support from Accenture our Skills to Succeed program is helping to provide youth with the tools and knowledge they need to find job, start their own business or pursue higher education. After she completed high school, Sharmin's father wanted to arrange her marriage. But Sharmin had other aspirations. "My dream is to be a financially independent woman," she said. Sharmin enrolled in computer training provided by Skills to Succeed in Bangladesh which equipped her with essential digital skills for the workplace. Today, she is combining her interest in crafts with her digital skills to design and manage digital marketing strategies for a local handicraft shop! This #InternationalYouthDay, join us in celebrating young people like Sharmin who are inspiring others to defy societal norms and pursue their dreams.
