By just about any measure, 2014 was a tough year for the world’s children. Innocent children were caught in the crossfire of conflict in places like Syria and Iraq. They struggled to survive as newborn babies in Nigeria. Children entered school ill-prepared to learn and suc- ceed in Kentucky. They left home and crossed borders to seek protection from violence here in the United States and across Europe. And they felt the fear and loss of Ebola – a deadly disease raging out of control throughout parts of West Africa. Children deserve better. That’s why Save the Children invests in childhood – every day, in times of crisis and for our future. We do whatever it takes in the United States and around the world to Anne brings help and hope to children ensure children survive on the toughest days and thrive in what we from Syria, who are spending their hope will be a brighter future. childhoods in a Thanks to your tremendous support, we helped more than refugee camp, far from home. Lebanon. 166 million children last year, achieving lasting, large-scale results. We gave children across the globe a healthy start in life, with a focus on newborn babies, for whom progress in reducing preventable child deaths has stalled. We also gave more children the opportunity to learn, including championing the right of every U.S. child to have a quality early education. And we helped protect the world’s children from the year’s unprecedented disasters and disease outbreaks. Results like these require the effective management of significant resources, as reported here for 2014, and we are grateful for the many donors and partners who generously supported our work. As a member of Save the Children’s global movement, Save the Children USA’s financial standing remains strong, entering 2015 well-positioned to achieve even more for children this year. Please take this opportunity to review our annual report of the 2014 results for children you helped make possible. We’re so grateful for your support, and we hope you will consider investing in the future with a gift to make a difference for children in 2015. As Save the Children’s founder, Eglantyne Jebb, famously affirmed, “Humanity owes the child the best we have to give.” Together, we will continue to fulfill this promise in 2015 and in the future.

Thank you on behalf of the world’s children.

The Opportunity to Learn In the United States and around the world, Save the Children is dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn. We support quality education and learning for all children, in the classroom and at home. We help children prepare to start and succeed in school. We train teachers in more effective teaching practices. And we offer ways to get kids learning outside of school hours. We also help school-age kids stay healthy, so they don’t fall behind or drop out of school. And we make sure children don’t stop learning during a crisis. In addition, we provide youth with the skills to succeed – like learning a trade or building a business – to help with the successful transition from school to work. In the United States, we focus on the importance of early childhood learning and literacy.

Protection from Harm In the United States and around the world, Save the Children is dedicated to ensuring every child is protected from harm. We protect girls and boys, especially orphans and the most vulnerable, from abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence. We ensure children are cared for and protected in a family environment, that they have quality care, and that they are not exploited in child labor and trafficking. We also ensure children are protected in times of crisis, when they are at a higher risk of harm.

Our experts have also addressed the issue of exploitive child labor in Jordan. Although education is mandatory until the age of 16, the law is not enforced. As part of our Promising Futures project, Save the Children launched a national campaign called My Dream…My Right in 2014. We aim to reduce child labor in Jordan by providing education services and strength- ening the livelihoods of families of working children. We are empowering children to claim their right to a quality education and protection from harm, so they can shape their futures and realize their dreams.
