Why Save the Children? (We’re so glad you asked!) Reason #1: You Share Save the Children’s Values You believe, as we do, that every child deserves a future. Every last child. The world has made great progress for children. More children are alive and thriving today than ever before. But here’s the problem. Millions of children in the U.S. and around the world still aren’t getting what they deserve. We’re talking about children in need. Dying, when the world knows how to save them. Vulnerable children in poverty. Denied an education. Forced to flee violence. Orphaned, abused, abandoned. Children with no reason to smile. No hope for the future. The world’s children deserve better.
