Give a present that grows over the year
Poverty in Denmark is invisible, but poverty it is. Almost 60,000 children live in relative poverty.
They do not starve to death, but they suffer poverty of care, friendship and self-esteem.
As a member of Save the Children you give vulnerable children in Denmark and Greenland experiences that can make a difference for life.
Save the Children is present where it’s worst
Save the Children also helps minors caught up in wars and conflicts throughout the world: during acute catastrophes, such as the Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar, as well as the silent and ‘forgotten’ disasters.
This refers, for example, to the famine in Ethiopia and other parts of the Horn of Africa, where almost 10 million people are starving right now.

Cure a child for less than a euro and a half
In the African country of Sierra Leone, one in four children does not make it past its fifth birthday.
Save the Children trains health workers, among others, and provides medicine and equipment to health clinics in the city slums of Sierra Leone.
How far the money will stretch:
- 14 euro: Teaching of a child worker in Bangladesh for an hour a week during one year
- 40 euro: Schooling of a child in Sierra Leone for one year
- 80 euro: Teaching of two children in a country at war for one year
- 133 euro: A classroom in Ethiopia furnished with a blackboard, four desks for the pupils and one for the teacher.
