In 1997 a more formal structure was set up and the organisation was renamed the International Save the Children Alliance. Soon afterwards, a permanent secretariat was set up in London. This was later moved to Geneva, but currently is based once more in London. Since 2010 it has been known as Save the Children International. Save the Children International continues the worldwide aims of the original Save the Children organisation, which was founded in 1919 in London and became part of the International Save the Children Union founded in Geneva in 1920. Save the Children was founded in 1919 after the First World War. It was founded in the United Kingdom by Eglantyne Jebb, a British social reformer, in order to improve the lives of children through better education, economic help, emergency aid, and health care in the United Kingdom. In 1924, the League of Nations adopted Jebb’s charter on children’s rights. In 1977 in Geneva, Save the Children International was founded to improve outcomes for the world’s children. Save the Children International was originally known as International Save the Children Alliance. They work in 120 different countries and have 30 member organizations. Save the Children International has begun a new program called EVERY ONE, which is their largest ever global campaign. They are campaigning to end the injustice of babies dying at birth and mothers dying during birth. The campaign makes stopping children and mothers dying a political priority. Millions of mothers and babies die each year during birth, which could oftentimes be prevented by addressing underlying causes, such as poverty, discrimination, conflict, the denial of rights, and barriers to equitable access to high quality health systems. Even after almost one hundred years of existence, the message behind Save the Children International and their mission has stayed the same. They continue to work hard to help improve the lives of children from all throughout the world through better education, economic help, emergency aid, and health care.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Story )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Save the Children International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
