A great deal has changed in the world this past year, yet millions of children still live in poverty and face daily uphill struggles for basic human rights and necessities. Here are some of the places and ways in which Save the Children made positive and lasting change in children's lives:

I. AfghanistanSave the Children played a leading role in delivering emergency food and medical relief to Afghans during the harsh winter of 2002, as well as in postwar recovery efforts by providing educational opportunities forthousands of boys and girls, helping families resume work and beginning to rebuild the nation's infrastructure.

2. Southern AfricaSave the Children was the first agency on the ground responding to the severe hunger crisis with large-scale food aid in Malawi, oneof the hardest hit of the southern African countries where more than 12 million people now face severe drought and potential famine.

3. HIV/AIDSIn the face of this ever-spreading pandemic, Save the Children intensified its infection prevention efforts in Asia, Africa and eastern Europe and expanded community care programs for orphans and people living with HIV/AIDS throughout sub-Saharan Africa. 4. Protecting Women and Children in War and Conflict Onthe basis of many years on the humanitarian front lines, and the needs documented in its State of the World's Mothers 2002 report, Save the Children launched One World, One Wish, a campaign to urge our government to establish policies and allocate funds for the protection of children and women from wartime atrocities such as rape, trafficking, exploitation and forced military servitude.

Guinea In times of war, Save the Children pays special attention to the health, education and protection of children and women, like these adolescent refugees from Sierra Leone and Liberia, since they are particularly vulnerable to sexual harassment, abuse and violence.

5. Saving Newborn Lives Lifesaving measures were expanded for women of childbearing age and their children in six countries in Africa and southern Asia in the second year of Save the Children's initiative. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, it includes tetanus immunization, alternative treatments for low birth-weight babies and the development of a government-sanctioned newborn health-care training curriculum. 6. America's Forgotten Children'Save the Children issued a landmark report to the nation, entitled America's Forgotten Children,which brought national attention to the plight of 2.5 million children living in the UnitedStates in remote pockets of rural poverty, and called for legislative change and increased funding toimprove these children's academic, social and financial opportunities through after-school programming.

7. Changing Lives Through Sponsorship Morethan 85,000 Save the Children sponsors remained the cornerstone of support that helped us strengthen the impact of community-based health and education programs for children, from early childhood through adolescence, in the United States and around the world. 8. Every Mother/Every Child Myanmar, a war-torn country all but ignored by the rest of the world, was a leading example of how Save the Children's acclaimed community-based programs on early childhood, nutrition, reproductive health and family planning provide children in the poorest villages with a healthy start and continued growth. 9. Emergency Response Amidongoing violence and physical hardships in the Middle East, Save the Children staff have innovated new strategies for maintaining essential services, such as the delivery of food, water and medical supplies, as well as for creating emergency employment opportunities for adults and programs tohelp children and teens constructively handle the psychological impact of current events. 10. Seals of ApprovalSave the Children earned the top rating (****) from Charity Navigator, an independent rating service, as one of the most efficient andeffective international humanitarian organizations, and was included in Worth magazine's prestigious list of the country's "100 Best Charities" as well as Vanity Fair magazine's annualHallof Fame issue.

Dear Friends, Save the Children's missionto make lasting, positive change in the lives of children in need has never been more urgent than it is today. As world leaders contend with rogue states, weapons of mass destruction and global terrorism,millions of children need greater protection from hunger, disease, exploitation and violence. In 2002, Save the Children intensified its humanitarian response on behalf of Children in Emergenciesand Crisis in many parts of the worldfeeding those without food in drought-stricken southern Africa, bringing lifesaving health care to children and their mothers in Afghanistan and providing health and social services to families in the war torn Middle East. And because we have learned that the only real solutions to the danger and hardship children face are those that bring about long-term, sustainable change, our development programs continued to provide Every Mother and Every Child with access to the tools they need to survive and thrive: basic education, income- earning opportunities and health care, including family planning. At the same time, Save theChildren stepped up its efforts to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic, in order to securethe significant advances we've made in the lives of children and families. During this past year, Save the Children has used its practical, community-based approach andbeen able to make great strides in Changing Lives Through Sponsorship, thanks to the 85,000 caring sponsors who supported more than 500,000 children and their families around the world with our proven child-focused programs. There are also children in need right here in the United States, living in the poorest rural communities, who received health and education assistance through our Web of Support program. In 2002, we took our 70 years of experience working with America's Forgotten Childrenand issued a report to the nation, which drew attention to the plight of 2.5 million such children and to the need for funding programs thathelp them break the cycle of poverty. The 21st century will undoubtedly bring many difficult and unpredictable challenges. But it holds great promise for progress and change as well, because of the many generous donors, sponsors, foundationsand corporations who support Save the Children's work. Despite the current economic climate, we enjoyed record-breaking revenues in 2002, which enabled us to maintainand frequently expandrelief and development assistance for children and their families where the need has been greatest. We are deeply grateful for this unswerving commitment and support, and rededicate ourselves tobuilding an even brighter future for children in the years ahead.

SAVE THE CHILDREN 3 BEST COPY AVAIL 1:1 6 Providing care and protection to children affected by natural disasters, war, displacement and exploitation

BESIrCOPY--AVAILA AYEAR OF DANGER FOR CHILDREN Every year, children around the world are thrust into unsafe conditions that threaten their health and safety. Whether it's an earthquake, a flood, armed conflict or some form of abuse, it is children who are the most vulnerable and the most frequently endangered.From conflicts in Afghanistan and the Middle East to drought in Africa to terrorism in our own country, millions of children found themselves in harm's way during this past year.

Save the Children's priority in responding to such emergencies and crises is first to meet the immediate, lifesaving needs of children and their families by providing food, water, health care and shelter, as well as protection from exploitation and abuse. Also critical is the psychological and social support that helps them to cope with trauma, injury and dislocation. At the same time, Save the Children works to restore or establish

In Ethiopia, Save the Children is working to improve access to safe water, to provide food to families where the shortages are acute and to develop alternative means of generating income. Much of this effort was made possible through Save the Children's Halaby-Murphy Fund, created to provide urgently needed disbursements at the very onset of an emergency, and through a series of emergency response grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Throughout the year, Save the Children also partnered with the ministries of agriculture and local nongovernmental organizations in Malawi and Mozambique to provide supplies of improved, drought-resistant varieties of vegetable, maize and cassava seeds, as well as to train community leaders to better manage their resources, establish long-term food sufficiency and prepare for future food emergencies. < Malawi SAVE THE CHILDREN S

In its third annual State of the World's Mothers report, subtitled Mothers 6. Children in War & Conflict, Save the Children gave an unflinching account of the violence and trauma increasingly suffered by civiliansprimarily women and children who currently make up 90 percent of wartime casualties, as compared with only 5 percent a century ago. The report documented how today's combatants intentionally target civilian populations and seek to destabilize societies, dramatically increasing women's and children's risk of death, disease, displacement and exploitation. In the Mothers' Index, where countries are rated according to the health, education and economic status of their mothers, countries in conflict most frequently ranked near the bottom. Despite this transformation of warfare, the global humanitarian response on behalf of women and children has not changed adequately, and Save the Children State of the World's Mothers has launched the One World, One Wish public awareness and advocacy campaign 2002 to begin making that change. The cornerstone of the campaign is to persuade Congress to pass the Women and Children in War and Armed Conflict Protection Act of 2003, making the protectionof women and children an integral part of the nation's response to conflict situations.This will ensure that more women and children survive their immediate circumstances, and that families and communities thrive in the long term.

In addition to private donations, a significant portion of the initial Dirt a funding for the campaign has already been received through the sale of T-shirts specially designed by Donna Karam (DKNY). The campaign was publicized in a major feature story in the November 2002 issue of Marie Claire magazine that included an eight-page photo spread of dozens of celebrities wearing the One World, One Wish T-shirt. 1101rsu 16 ttNitl Rtt tr.r6 The complete State of the World's 04.6.111*$.411 Mothers 2002 report, as well as more information on the One World, One Wish campaign and how to contribute, can be found at Save the Children's website, wwwsavethechildren.org.

A 0' for Children in Emergencies and Crisis

Save the Children seeks to increase policymakers' awareness of the vital safety issues concerning children in crisis situations, and to promote legislation and increased funding for programs thatwill ensure their protection and well-being. This includes the introduction in Congress of the Women and Children in War and Armed Conflict Protection Act of 2003, to reduce dramatically the incidence of death, disease, injury, displacement and exploitation among women and children who make up the vast majority of casualties in warand conflict settings.

Four million of these deaths are newborns. Additionally, nearly 600,000 women dieone mother every minutefrom causes related to pregnancy or childbirth. Six hundred million children live on less than$1 a day. Over 125 million children do not go to school, and nearly two-thirds of them are girls. AIDS has orphaned about 14 million children, and three times that number are projected by2010. Key to reversing these dire statistics, and helping children to survive and thrive, are the world's mothers. For 70 years, Save the Children has successfully worked from the principle that when mothers are given access to three essential toolseducation, health care and economic opportunitiesit creates real and lasting change in their lives, their children's lives and for generations to come.

HEALTHY MOTHERS = HEALTHY CHILDREN To lead healthy and active lives, children need proper nutrition and protection from disease not only during their childhood, but also before it even begins. Save the Children has been an international leader in addressing the critical health needs of women and girls so that their survival and well-being can improve the lives of their children.

Making Motherhood Safe Every year, nearly 600,000 women 99 percent of them in developing countries die from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.

Save the Children provides access to reproductive health care by training traditional healers, birth attendants and female doctors in modern methods of contraception and other protective health practices so that pregnant women have a better chance of a clean and safe delivery in their home and a healthy newborn.

STRONG BEGINNINGS" FOR EDUCATION A child's health and success in life is strongly associated with literacy and his or her mother's level of education. In many parts of the developing world, however, children have neither the access nor the money to attend school, and in some countries there is cultural resistance to educating girls. Save the Children's groundbreaking, community-based Strong Beginnings program aims to reverse these conditions and has now been replicated in more than 20 countries. It is based on the premise that learning is a life-long process that begins at birth.

Just over a year ago, her family was surviving on corn and beans alone, and eating as little as possible to make it last.

Although Candelaria knew how to sew, and had been making Mayan women's blouses since she was 15, she could not get ahead of her expenses, and her weekly income of $6.45 just was not enough. Then Candelaria became a client of the local microenterprise program, Fonda Microempresariah established by Save the Children to increase the incomes of rural women. Instead of paying moneylenders 10 percent interest per month on loans to buy material as she had been doing, she was able to access credit at a reasonable rate with a group-guaranteed 4 loan, and now earns more than $30 a week. Today her family can afford to buy more wholesome foods, including meat, and after these expenses Guatemala she reinvests the remaining income in her business.

15 BEST COPYAVAILABLE Fighting HIV/AIDS on Two Fronts

The most serious consequences of the HIV/AIDS pandemic fall on the children, and will spell future disaster for whole societies unless checked. The disease has orphaned more than 14 million children to date, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, and is spreading most rapidly today among 15- to 24-year-olds who would be the next generation of parents and community builders. Save the Children is fighting HIV/AIDS on two fronts: first, to prevent the spread of infection, in countries such as Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Nepal, Georgia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia and Malawi. This effort includes awareness and education programs among high-risk sex workers and truckers along heavily traveled trade routes, and with peer-led group activities that de-stigmatize the illness and provide healthful lifestyle choices for vulnerable youths.

Secondly, Save the Children is helping communities provide care and support for the orphans and child- or elder-headed families left behind. Through its model community- based program in Malawi, Ethiopia and Mozambique, as well as a growing multi-agency partnership (the Hope for African Children Initiative), Save the Children has been helping to ensure that AIDS orphans and vulnerable children receive health care, adequate nutrition and access to education, life skills training and future income-earning opportunities. Community members and leaders join in workshops to learn about HIV/AIDS and discuss the role of girls' education in keeping their communities healthy.

0 for Every Mother and Every Child

During the coming year, Save the Children will focus its advocacy efforts on Congressional foreign appropriations funding with the goal of doubling those funds and directing them towards mother- and child-centered programs that deal with education, family planning, maternal and newborn health, child survival, microcredit and HIV/AIDS. This will include the monies proposed by President Bush in the Millennium Challenge Account. The three-year, $5 billion new foreign assistance initiative, proposed by the president in March 2002, signaled the administration's recognition that the United States must play a much larger role in fighting world poverty. Leading development and humanitarian organizations, including Save the Children, are working to make certain that this is in addition to, not in place of, funds needed for effective, poverty-reducing programs in the poorest nations.

Despite one of the most prosperous decades in history, roughly 2.5 millionof America's children live in isolated rural areas, many without telephones or even running water. Persistently poor communities such as these lack key familyservices - health care, child care, quality education, libraries, community and youth centers - and so areextremely limited in their ability to meet their children's most basic needs. And because theylack human and economic resources, they are unable to attract the skilled andknowledgeable people they so desperately need to help break the cycle of poverty. The forgotten children who live in these areas often spend their time outof school unsupervised, and are at increased risk of turning to drugs, alcohol, violence andother forms of delinquency that often lead to higher school dropout rates and teen pregnancy. For roughly 125,000 youths in over 210 of the poorest, most underservedlocations in the United States, Save the Children's Web of Support° program offers the mostimportant opportunity to beat the long odds they face. Working in partnership withcommunity- and school-based organizations, Save the Children helps to identify needs, designsolutions and provide the financial support and training that enable communities to furtherdevelop and sustain their own programs.

Economic opportunity takes on special meaning for adolescents when they grow up in extreme poverty and have few resources. Save the Children's leadership training programs and internships help them develop marketable skills and gain valuable experience as they learn to plan and implement community events and service projects and receive training in financial responsibility. Many have used their new skills to benefit others in their communities by working at local youth service agencies, tutoring younger children and advising community leaders about the needs of young people.

with sudden situations and extreme emotions that they had never experienced before. For those living in remote, rural areas with no social services or community support, the need for guidance and coping techniques was as great as for the rest of the country. As a global leader in helping communities abroad deal with crises and disasters of all kinds, Save the Children was able to respond quickly by organizing community forums for parents, counselors, teachers and youths to talk about the events and the feelings they generated. Through Yale University's National Center for Children Exposed to Violence, Save the Children offered mental health consultation, counseling and referral services to community partners in areas where the agency had established programs, particularly Bridgeport, Connecticut and Brooklyn, New York, where children and families were directly affected. The Fund for U.S. Children in Crisis was established to allow contributions from concerned citizens to support these efforts.

During the following school year, he improved his reading by a grade and a half. Michael is now in the fifth grade, where he belongs, and he continues to get closer to his goal of reading at his grade level. But the story doesn't end there.

Octoria and Michael have become close friends, and this has done wonders for Michael's self-esteem. His sense of achievement grows even more whenever he helps another child who is struggling over a word. Octoria says that she "never would have thought in a million years how exciting it is to see a child learn how to read," and that for the first time inher life she feels that she has accomplished something.

During the National Youth Summit on Capitol Hill, Save the Children released a report to the nation, America's Forgotten Children: Child Poverty in Rural America, which exposed the critical situation facing children living in poverty in remote parts of the United States. Using a large body of research on child development as well as decades of first-hand experience, the report also issued a call to action for government, corporations and foundations to work together in a concertedeffort to overcome the challenges of rural child poverty.

9IK The report marked the beginning of Save the Children's America's Forgotten Children campaign, which will continue to raise public awareness through the media and advocacy efforts to provide children in our poorest neighborhoods with the resources and skills to lead successful, independent lives.

Among the report's recommendations were to develop human resources by providingtraining for the people who live in poor communities and creating incentives to attract skilled personnel to work there;to build community institutions, such as youth and West Virginia 1,1"19 Save the Children's OS recreation centers where Web of Support residents can safely gather, after- school programs help socialize and participate in children in the poorest rural activities; to help families communities 0' earn a living wage with prepare for itr success. adequate training, local employment opportunities \ and welfare-to-work policies that address the needs of children; and to increase public and 1'C private support for sL, the development of community-based programs for children in the poorest rural areas of the country.

\ kiti.r; COMMUN1TY-BASED APPROACH FOR LASTING RESULTS

Save the Children was established in the United States during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and introduced the first school hot lunch programs for children living in the poorest and most isolated rural communities in Appalachia. Over the years, Save the Children expanded to other parts of the United States and around the world, and created additional life-changing health and education programs. Many of these are funded by Save the Children sponsors, caring individuals who enjoy the personal connection that child sponsorship provides.Today, through sponsorship, tens of thousands of individuals play a vital role in creating real and lasting change, and building a brighter future for children around the world.

Sponsorship in the 21st century is the culmination of 70 years of experience helping children and communities to help themselves.The result is a coordinated plan that focuses on five critical areas with the greatest potential impact on a child's lifeand growth: early childhood development, primary education, school health and nutrition, adolescent development and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Each sponsorship program, like the ones described below, has been specifically developed to meet needs in the communities where we work. Each is monitored and evaluated for effectiveness with the ultimate goal of transferring ownership to local leaders.

MAKING LITERACY A FAMILY AFFAIR American Indians have a long and proud oral tradition, one that preserves their cultural history and tribal customs. Historically, however, American Indian communities have viewed literacy as an uncertain benefit. Today, many reservation families do not have literature and recreational reading in their homes. In some cases, adults are disadvan- taged readers themselves, which offers little support to children and youths struggling to keep up in school. This has had a significant impact: American Indian youth have the highest dropout rates of all ethnic groups in the country, and low levels of literacy greatly affect employability.

Many families here, like Maura's, were displaced from their original homes because of years of violent unrest in their part of the country. The disruption in their lives left little time or resources to focus on education or early childhood development activities that would have prepared children for primary school. Without such preparation, 25 percent of the children in poor, remote areas end up having to repeat the early grades of primary school, often dropping out at an early age.

Fortunately, Maura and her family have been participating in the Lifelong Learning Center program, established as part of Save the Children's sponsor-supported regional Central America initiative. With a focus on early childhood development, the initiative includes the construction of preschool centers, teacher training and materials for preschool classrooms. Above all, it mobilizes community support for the early childhood program as a way to ensure their children's successful transition to primary school.

Maura's mother, who has become a facilitator of women's literacy sessions, says she is pleased with the progress and positive changes she has seen in her daughter, and is now sending Maura's younger sister to the center as well.

An area of significant growth was in agricultural commodities that increased 49% and totaled $38 million. Strong results were also found in government grants, which increased $9.8 million or 13%, and private contributions and grants, which increased $7.9 million or 18% over the previous year.

Our continued improvement in the amount of expenditures supporting program services is evidenced by our resulting 88% of total expenditures attributable to program. Also notable is that while there was growth in program expenditures, the management and fundraising expenses decreased $1.2 million and now account for only 12% of overall expenditures. We are very proud of our commitment to efficient fundraising and management that has allowed increasing support of our program services.

SAVE THE CHILDREN 39 BIEST COPY AVAILABLIE 42 Cokie Roberts Cokie Roberts, the nationally acclaimed TV anchor, radio news analyst, author and syndicated columnist, has been a longtime supporter of Save the Children and is currently serving as our spokesperson and advocate. Ms. Roberts will continue to speak out on the issue of women and children as she did at the Women's Empowerment Forum in May and in her Foreword to the State of the World's Mothers 2002 report: "Throughout time, women and children have suffered as the unintended victims of the world's wars, but the nature of warfare in the modern world has intensified that suffering. ... If we help mothers rebuild their lives after the horror of war, we'll be rebuilding a civilization. Children will be fed and clothed and cared for and educated. And the women can take up the tasks they performed before the waras teachers, doctors, government workers, businesswomen. ... By investing strategically in mothers, Save the Children reaps benefits for women, their children and their communities. That's why I'm so happy to be associated with Save the Children's efforts. The lifesaving work the organization does with the women and children of the world is miraculous indeed."
