More information
Beginning in 1919, we are the world’s largest aid organisation founded by a woman – Eglantyne Jebb.
Today we are the world's leading independent organisation for children. Save the Children New Zealand is one of 29 national organisations working together to deliver programs in more than 120 countries around the world. In 2009 Save the Children touched the lives of 80 million children around the world and became a NZ$1.9 billion organisation. Our values are based on the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, both of which share the conviction that all people are of equal worth, that children have special rights, and that everybody has a responsibility to make these rights a reality. The UNCRC requires governments to ensure that children’s rights are respected, and we work with others to advocate this goal.
