History of the Institution

The Save the Children Fund was founded in London, on April 15, 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb and her sister Dorothy Buxton as an effort to alleviate starvation of children in Germany and Austria-Hungary during the Allied blockade of Germany of World War I which continued after the Armistice.

In December 1919, Pope Benedict XV publicly announced his support for Save the Children, and declared December 28 'Innocents Day' in order to collect donations.

The first branch was opened in Fife, Scotland in 1919. A counterpart, Rädda Barnen (which means "Save the Children"), was founded later that year in Sweden, and together with a number of other organizations, they founded the International Save the Children Union in Geneva on January 6, 1920. Jebb built up excellent relationships with other Geneva-based organisations, including the Red Cross who supported Save’s International foundation.
