Transcript: FZ Kassidi Save the Children OVERVIEW Save the Children-Mission Save the Children invests in childhood – every day, in times of crisis and for our future. In the United States and around the world, we give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. By transforming children's lives now, we change the course of their future and ours. History Russian children fed by Save the Children during the 1921 famine. -Save the Children's founder, Eglantyne Jebb, and her sister Dorothy Buxton were part of the Fight the Famine movement, spreading information about what was happening in Europe. How it all Started In 1919, Jebb was arrested for distributing leaflets with shocking images of children affected by famine in Europe Founders Impact in history Measuring success Measuring success "I believe we should claim certain rights for the children and labour for their universal recognition, so that everybody - not merely the small number of people who are in a position to contribute to relief funds, but everybody who in any way comes into contact with children, that is to say the vast majority of mankind - may be in a position to help forward the movement." Eglantyne Jebb. CHALLENGES CHALLENGES "In times of acute crisis, we mobilize rapid assistance to help children recover from the effects of war, conflict and natural disasters." - Statement on Guidestar.org Challenge 1 Challenge 1 Aid Workers in Conflict Zones "If we're gonna change the world we have to be willing to risk something." - How to Change the World, documentary about Greenpeace. -A recent example of such challenge is when Turkish authorities have detained 15 staff of a US NGO working on Syria relief operations – the latest in a series of moves restricting humanitarian aid groups in the country. -The Inside Story on Emergencies. Risks On The Grounds Risks On The Grounds -There are both cultural barriers and security concerns when volunteers and aid workers are sent on the grounds. Stannard’s Afghan lieutenant Dr Basir says: ‘‘I had to talk for more than two hours to convince the district governor in Gizab that he should allow his wife to become a student." -Local Save the Children worker. Example -Another challenge brought by cultural barriers is training local populations especially women or even surpassing cultural beliefs for instance Australian programs administered by Save the Children include more than 50 community-run education efforts for about 1700 children who cannot get to school – for cultural or security reasons a great example is in Afghanistan.

"What I didn’t know then was the extent of the logistical challenges we were to face. Naively I’d assumed that the major hurdle was getting the aid into the country in the first place, but slowly the full picture emerged. As teams attempted to get to the epicentre of the quake outside Kathmandu and to assess the damage, they were thwarted by damaged roads and landslides. The electricity, phone and internet were down, so we couldn’t co-ordinate with communities, understand exactly what their needs were, or to tell them that we were trying to reach them. While our logistics teams desperately tried to bring aid into the country, they simultaneously attempted to find warehouses, which were still standing, secure and large enough to house the life-saving supplies. The next challenge was finding enough trucks and fuel to move the aid to the warehouses, and then out to the communities."

They attract attention, create legitimacy, and serve as powerful role models to others, Press and media attention follow, along with money, members, and volunteers." - Forces for Good, p.117.
