Will Aid

Save the Children works in over 120 countries. We save children’s lives. We fight for their rights. We help them fulfil their potential.

In the last two decades Save the Children has helped inspire huge global progress in reducing child mortality. In 2011 we saw the biggest ever fall in child mortality – a drop of 700,000 in a single year. That wasn’t a one-off. Since 1990, the number of children dying every year has come down by 5 million.

But there is still a long way to go. Every year, almost 7 million children under five die needlessly – most from basic diseases like pneumonia or diarrhoea, or simply because they can’t get enough of the right food.

Save the Children believes, wherever they’re born, whatever their circumstances, no child is born to die.

Making your will through Will Aid is one way of supporting children like Watta below. Another way is by making a gift in your will to Save the Children to support our work for years to come. Much of the help we give children today is possible because of the kind and thoughtful actions of others, who decided to include a gift in their will to us after they had provided for their family and loved ones.
