There are 30 Save the Children member organizations around the world.
[2] In 1997, a more formal structure was set up and the organisation was renamed the International Save the Children Alliance.
Save the Children International continues the worldwide aims of the original Save the Children organization, which was founded in 1919 in London and became part of the International Save the Children Union founded in Geneva in 1920.
It was founded in the United Kingdom by Eglantyne Jebb, a British social reformer, and her sister Dorothy,[3] to improve the lives of children through better education, economic help, emergency aid, and health care in the United Kingdom.
In 1924, the League of Nations adopted Jebb's charter on children's rights.
