Save the Children

We save children's lives. We fight for their rights.

Description:

Save the Children Android app provides users with up to the minute information on the world's leading independent organisation for children. Save the Children works in almost 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential. Our vision is that no child under the age of five dies from preventable causes, and that public attitudes will not tolerate a return to high levels of child deaths. We make sure that children affected by emergencies, disasters and armed conflict get life-saving medical aid, shelter, food and water – fast.
