Save the Children

ORGANIZATION

Formed in response to a post-WWI blockade by Britain of the losing side of the war.

"Eglantyne Jebb and her sister Dorothy Buxton decided that direct action was needed as well as campaigning. The Save the Children Fund was set up at a public meeting in London's Royal Albert Hall in May 1919. From that day to this we've been raising funds to provide relief to children suffering the effects of war."
