Mission Statement
Save the Children has been providing aid for disasters and emergencies since it was founded in 1919. We distribute food and medicines in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Mobile hospitals enable our teams of doctors to reach the injured and wounded in the remotest of regions. We also set up safe tents and play tents where children can take refuge and be protected from exploitation and violence whilst receiving psychological care. We also help families to rebuild their lives and thus secure their future. In our disaster provision projects, children learn how to recognise the early signs of danger, how to assess risk and how to act appropriately in the situation. We fight for the right of health and survival for all children. We campaign for the right of all children to attend school and be educated. We ensure that children are protected from violence and exploitation.
About This Cause
As Save the Children Switzerland we are part of the largest independent child rights movement in the world. Together with Save the Children colleagues across the globe we tackle big, interconnected challenges and focus on the children most at risk of being pushed behind by poverty, discrimination, and inequality. Locally anchored in 120 countries we aim to be as local as possible, and as global as necessary, to make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of children. Our experts have direct information about the situation on the ground, continuously learn, develop new methods and approaches, and adapt the projects accordingly. They also mobilise timely and appropriate resources in times of disasters and crises.
