Save the Children was established as a non-profit organisation in Italy in 1998 and started its activities in 1999. Today it is an NGO recognized by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n

Besides its engagement at international level, Save the Children Italy has been developing national programmes for more than 10 years, which aim at improving the lives of children\u00a0living in Italy through intervention in the areas of child poverty, protection of children at risk of exploitation, education, safe use of new technologies and child protection in emergencies.<\/p>\n

In all its projects Save the Children adopts a child-rights based approach, established in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and in particular the best interest of the child, the non-discrimination principle, the right of children to participate, and their right to survival and development.<\/p>\n
