                                                       Help the Children

Children need our help more than anyone because they are powerless, and they rely on the other people. Many charities recognise this, so they are working hard to help them the most. Here are two of them.

Save the Children

Save the Children is a global charity organisation founded in 1919. Originally, the charity aimed to help starving children after World War I. Today, it works in 122 countries to help children survive, learn, stay safe, develop and succeed. It does this by providing healthcare and protecting children from diseases. It also provides children with an education and makes sure that no matter where they live or what their situation is, they have the chance to learn to read and write. It also does great work to protect children from violence and keep children safe. Finally, it goes to areas where there are wars or other emergencies to give them life-saving support and help.

The Children’s Society

The Children’s Society is a UK-based charity that has been working since 1881 to protect and help children. They began by dealing with the effects of poverty on British children. They also helped orphans and children of single mothers who are very poor and could not care for them because of illness. Their focus today is on very poor children refugees, runaways, and children who suffer from abuse or in care homes. By 2030, they wish to make a huge difference to children’s well-being and help young people to feel happy and good about themselves.
