Through the Changing the World project girls will be directly supporting Save the Children’s lifesaving health and hunger work. Together we will reduce the number of children who die under the age of five.
Gemma Harris, New Community Ventures Manager, Save the Children
Save the Children
Save the Children is the world’s independent children’s charity. We're working flat-out to right the fundamental wrongs that affect children.
Too many children are dying because they haven't got enough food or because they can't get treatment for simple illnesses. Millions aren't getting an education and are being exploited and abused. This is not good enough.
We're changing this, partly by working directly with children, and partly by using our experience and influence to persuade governments and others who are responsible for children to do the right thing by them.
We seek out the most marginalised children, wherever they are in the world, so that means we work in a really broad range of countries, from fragile states like Afghanistan, to developed countries like here in the UK.
We work closely with our colleagues in the International Save the Children Alliance, both in our programmes with children and in our international campaigns and advocacy work.
We have high ambitions for what's achievable for children - we aim to inspire dramatic change for children and to involve them in creating that change
Why they want to work with you
By working with Girlguiding UK Save the Children will make lasting changes for some of the world’s poorest children. We are excited that we will be supported by the skills, enthusiasm and energy of Girlguiding UK members in changing the lives of children. You’ll also have a great time, make lots of new friends and learn loads of useful new skills – ideal for Girlguiding UK badges!
Through Girlguiding UK: Changing the World, Save the Children would like to make a lasting difference for the world’s poorest children. It is unacceptable that 10 million children still die before the age of five. The Changing the World project will change this. We also hope that it will excite a lifelong passion in the girls that take part to help the most vulnerable children around the world.
