For more than 100 years, we have been working with children.
Save the Children is an international NGO that works to make children’s rights to survival,
development, protection and participation a reality worldwide. It was established in the
UK in 1919 and is currently at work in approximately 120 countries. The UN and thegovernments of many countries have a high regard for Save the Children as a pioneer ofchildren’s rights, and we have achieved breakthroughs in the way the world treats children.
Save the Children Japan was established in 1986. We are active in international programsin fields such as health and nutrition and education. When conflicts or natural disasters
occur, we provide emergency and humanitarian responses. In Japan, we have actively
addressed issues of child poverty and child abuse and have also conducted various
programs in response to large-scale disasters such as the Great East Japan Earthquake
and the Kumamoto Earthquake. Through these programs, we work to make children’s
rights a reality.

Foreword
In 2020, children around the world were adversely affected by the spread of COVID-19. In bothdeveloped and developing countries, curfews and containment measures significantly impacted
children’s lives, escalating poverty and domestic violence, and depriving them of educational
opportunities.
In these circumstances, Save the Children provided support to approximately 45 million children in
120 countries around the world to safeguard children's rights to survival, protection, development andparticipation.
In particular, we deployed our COVID-19 responses in 87 countries around the world including
Japan. We reached approximately 29.5 million people, including 11.8 million children, with support for
education and livelihoods as well as learning activities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and otherinfectious diseases.
Internationally, in addition to emergency assistance for the pandemic, we continued to provide
emergency and humanitarian assistance to children in Syria, Yemen, and Rohingya refugees affected byprolonged conflicts and violence. We also supported children made vulnerable by socio-economic
disparities.
In Japan, in response to the enactment of the revised Child Abuse Prevention Act in April 2020, whichclearly prohibits physical punishment by parents, we conducted awareness-raising activities onparenting without physical punishment through social media campaigns and online events. In addition,
we distributed food to single-parent families, provided financial grants to high school students, andsupported after-school children's clubs. Furthermore, during the heavy rains in July, we worked closelywith the local community and the government to provide emergency and reconstruction assistance.
Throughout the challenges of this year, I felt that a willingness to support others experiencing
difficulty had spread throughout Japan and around the world. I am very glad that we were able toconvey that individual willingness in the form of support for those in need.
In 2021, Save the Children will continue to strive for a world that can attain all children’s rights,
listen to children’s voices, and conduct activities for children together with children.
We look forward to your continued support and cooperation in the future.

Democratic Republic of the Congo, and of displaced
Rohingya people in Bangladesh. Our responses
included support for education, child protection, healthand nutrition, and distribution of emergency relief
supplies. We also provided emergency responses to the
COVID-19 outbreak in these countries.

Save the Children is committed to ensuring that all
children, including children with disabilities andchildren from economically disadvantaged families,
have equal access to quality inclusive education. In
Mongolia, we strengthened the capacity of teachers toprovide educational support tailored to children’s
individual needs. Opportunities for home tutoring andlearning kits were also offered to children who facedifficulties accessing education.

We work to prevent and treat malnutrition andinfectious diseases and to build societies where
everyone has access to quality health services. In
Uganda and Vietnam, we provided technical guidance
to improve agricultural productivity, as well as nutritional guidance to local farmers to improve maternaland child nutrition. In addition, we promoted healthcheckups for women during and after pregnancy.

Child Poverty

In Mongolia, we strengthened the capacity of childprotection teams within local governments working toprevent and respond to cases of child abuse. In
addition to advocating for stronger and moresustainable child protection and child rights
mechanisms, we conducted nationwide campaigns
through social media, TV, and newspapers to ban
corporal punishment.
