As part of the global Save the Children movement, Save the Children South Africa delivers life‑changing programmes right here at home, while international programmes are coordinated by Save the Children International. This unified model ensures that every effort is aligned, every resource maximised, and every child reached with greater impact.
We work tirelessly to transform the way South Africa treats its children, driving immediate and lasting change until every child can be a child.
OUR BELIEF: We believe every child deserves a future and their lives, voices and future potential should be fiercely protected at all costs.
OUR VISION: A world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.
OUR MISSION: To inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
OUR VALUES: We will stay true to our values of accountability, ambition, collaboration, creativity and integrity Ubuntu, passion, and learning.
How we do it?
Save the Children adopted a global strategy called Ambition for Children 2030, alongside a strategic plan to guide our work. Through this strategy, we harness our resources, energy, knowledge, and expertise to drive three global breakthroughs for children by 2030.
SURVIVE: no child dies from preventable causes before their fifth birthday.
LEARN: all children learn from a good quality basic education.
BE PROTECTED: violence against children is no longer tolerated.
With your support, these breakthroughs can become reality, giving every child the chance to survive, learn, and be protected.
