and people - millions of people in thousands of communities around the globe - working together to create

opportunities for the world's children to live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. In January 1932 in a small room in

New York City, a group of concerned citizens gathered to respond to the needs of the proud people of Appalachia

hard hit by the Great Depression. The inspiration and vision for Save the Children came in great part from the

international children's rights movement begun in England in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb, founder of the British Save

the Children Fund. From this early effort in the hills and hollows of Harlan County, Kentucky, grew a self-help

philosophy and practice still at work today in more than 45 countries: providing communities with a hand up, not a

handout. This approach - working with families to define and solve the problems their children and communities

face and utilizing a broad array of strategies to ensure self-sufficiency - is the cornerstone of all Save the Children's

programs. Through the decades, we have evolved into a leading international relief and development organization.

Countless events and achievements have shaped the development of our organization and helped change the lives

of the children we serve.
