Humanitarian organization CEOs: Let’s show Syrian refugees the promise of America
This post originally appeared on FoxNews.com, and was written in coordination with Michelle Nunn, Carolyn Woo, Neal Keny-Guyer, Raymond C. Offenheiser, & Richard Stearns. More than 4 million Syrian refugees, almost half of whom are children, have fled unspeakable violence. Even with winter advancing, many continue to make the treacherous journey from Turkey to Greece […]
Providing a Future for Millions of Syrian Children
It takes only a few hours on a beach on the Greek island of Lesbos to understand the enormity of the current refugee crisis sweeping Europe and the many dangers that refugees face, including so many mothers and children.

The First Day of School…in Cuba!
The first day of school is an exciting moment of possibility and potential—and the same could be said for my very first trip to Cuba. Everywhere I went, there was an expectant and hopeful feeling in the air. I spoke with young Cubans who expressed their enthusiasm about greater interaction with the world, including […]

A New Year and a Recommitment to Saving Lives
I can hardly believe that it’s already 2015! This year has stood as a milestone for so much of our work for children in recent years, so 2015 promises to be a mixture of sprinting to the finish in some areas and setting out a new course in others. Today I’m in Washington for […]

Sign our Petition to Keep America’s Kids Safe
In 1987, Congress created a National Commission on Children tasked with assessing the status of children and families in America. This three-year Commission created some of the most meaningful and influential policies for children in modern American history, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Tax Credit, and the creation of the Children’s Health […]

A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Action
I spent last week at the Clinton Global Initiative and the UN General Assembly meetings in New York. There was much talking about issues of international development, about the rights of children to an education, about stopping children dying from preventable things like pneumonia, about making sure that the world is free from hunger. But […]

Do we really have to choose THIS??
As I celebrated Thanksgiving with my extended family this weekend, eating from a huge spread, sharing updates and stories and generally catching up at a big family gathering, I also thought about the many kids and families Save the Children works with all around the world and right here in the United States. I knew […]
AIDs in Africa Thirty Years On….
The AIDS epidemic reached 30 this year and though there has been a huge amount of progress here in the U.S., the story in Africa is a vastly different one.
