Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating real and lasting change for children in need in the United States and in more than 40 countries around the world. Save the Children brings strong management and innovative strategies to programs in economic opportunities, food security, HIV/AIDS, children in crisis and emergency response, health, and education in order to achieve its mission.

"Save the Children sees the Year of Microcredit as a valuable opportunity to spread the news about the miracle of microfinance to poor clients and potential donors alike. Each modest loan starts a poor family on the path from poverty to self-reliance. Each new microenterprise helps a poor mother put her children in school or purchase them the health-care they need."
