"Let children grow up healthily and happily" is no longer just a slogan.
"Children are the future pillars of society," a well-known saying that emphasizes the crucial role each child plays in shaping a brighter tomorrow for all. Ensuring a child's future transcends mere provision of basic needs like food and clothing. While temporary assistance offers immediate physical care to distressed children, their emotional well-being is equally significant. Daily stability and support lay the foundation for psychological security, empowering them to navigate life confidently and explore endless opportunities.
This is the purpose of the Save the Children's Child Guardian program. Thanks to the monthly donations made by the Child Guardians, Save the Children is able to generate a steady stream of income for the development of longer-term and more effective programs for the children.
