Save the Children was born out of the need to address the plight of Children in Europe after the First World War in 1919. The founders were two sisters, Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton. The two sisters felt that action was needed to deal with the dire health and nutrition problems that children in Berlin and Vienna, among other European cities, were facing. Their initial activities led to the arrest of Jebb. Nonetheless, they went on to establish the human rights organization currently known as Save the Children. The Role that Save the Children Plays Save the Children focuses on the plight of children in various countries and seeks to address their concerns. The range of issues that the organization deals with varies from country to country. The main areas the organization deals with include the following. Save the Children advocates for children’s rights, the education of children, and the protection of children. The organization also addresses the impact of climate change on children, poverty, and hunger. The organization also runs programs dealing with child health, and HIV. The role that Save the Children plays in children’s rights is three fold.

Save the Children recognizes that climate change is one of the most significant challenges of the twenty first century. More importantly, children will endure the most of the impacts of climate change. For instance, climate change will affect food security and nutrition in many parts of the world. Children usually suffer the most from nutritional deficiency because they need proper nutrition to mature.
