Save the Children- http://www.savethechildren.org/
Save the Children invests in childhood – every day, in times of crisis and for our future. In the United States and around the world, they give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. By transforming children’s lives now, there is a change in the course of their future and ours. I chose this organization because they provide aid to children in the areas of education, health and nutrition, hunger, disaster and emergency response. I like that they cover many areas of a child’s life and their many needs.

Oxfam works to empower young people to be active global citizens. They promote education that helps young people understand the global issues that affect their lives and take action towards a more just and sustainable world. There are education teams in England, Scotland and Wales support teachers through resources, teacher training and partnership work. Meet the team. The Oxfam Education website offers hundreds of free online resources, lesson plans, teaching ideas, and support and guidance for education practitioners.
