This #InternationalLiteracyDay, let’s rewrite the story for kids everywhere. Too many children across the U.S. and around the world miss out on critical learning opportunities due to unequal access to resources. But thanks to your incredible support, we’ve been able to bridge these gaps. This summer, Save the Children provided kids with the books, educational tools, and meals they needed to head back to school ready to achieve their goals. Together, we’re making a lasting impact and helping to #MakeSummerFair—giving children everywhere the strong foundation they need to thrive. ✨

About us
Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. Recognized for our commitment to accountability, innovation and collaboration, our work takes us into the heart of communities, where we help children and families help themselves. We work with other organizations, governments, non-profits and a variety of local partners while maintaining our own independence without political agenda or religious orientation. When disaster strikes around the world, Save the Children is there to save lives with food, medical care and education and remains to help communities rebuild through long-term recovery programs. As quickly and as effectively as Save the Children responds to tsunamis and civil conflict, it works to resolve the ongoing struggles children face every day — poverty, hunger, illiteracy and disease — and replaces them with hope for the future.

In #Rwanda, volunteerism isn’t just a tradition—it’s a catalyst for national progress. The Zero Out of School Children in Rwanda Project is mobilizing youth volunteers through the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Local Government to identify, enroll, and retain out-of-school children. These dedicated volunteers are going door-to-door in every village across the country, uncovering the barriers that keep children from attending school. So far, they’ve reached over 12,414 villages and identified more than 110,000 out-of-school children. Through strategic meetings and innovative solutions—like creating a WhatsApp group for real-time updates—these youth volunteers are driving real change in their communities. The project, co-funded by the Ministry of Education, is a partnership between Save the Children and the Education Above All Foundation with support from QFFD, and is jointly implemented by the Ministry of Education and Save the Children.

We welcome the pause in fighting to allow for the polio vaccination campaign to take place, but 3 days won't be enough to protect the children of Gaza Our staff are working non-stop from Deir Al-Balah Primary Health Care Center, a key vaccination site. But thousands are now at imminent risk of polio, and face other diseases, starvation, lack of access to education and the deadly threat of bombs. An immediate, definitive ceasefire is the only way to end the death and destruction in Gaza, allow for full humanitarian access and ensure the release of all remaining hostages.

Every young person deserves the chance to thrive and succeed. With support from Accenture our Skills to Succeed program is helping to provide youth with the tools and knowledge they need to find job, start their own business or pursue higher education. After she completed high school, Sharmin's father wanted to arrange her marriage. But Sharmin had other aspirations. "My dream is to be a financially independent woman," she said. Sharmin enrolled in computer training provided by Skills to Succeed in Bangladesh which equipped her with essential digital skills for the workplace. Today, she is combining her interest in crafts with her digital skills to design and manage digital marketing strategies for a local handicraft shop! This #InternationalYouthDay, join us in celebrating young people like Sharmin who are inspiring others to defy societal norms and pursue their dreams.
