Save the Children Mexico, since its beginnings in 1973, has been an active member of the international Save the Children Alliance, an organization represented in more than 120 countries.  Save the Children has worked to benefit children since 1919 and is the largest organism in the world providing direct service programs to children.     

Among Save the Children’s important accomplishments is the promotion, and application of the International Convention on the Rights of the Child in its programs.
Save the Children Mexico has been at the forefront in the diffusion and promotion of the United Nations International Convention on the Rights of the Child.    

Save the Children Mexico has programs directly serving children, currently operating in the states of Sonora, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Querétaro, Quintana Roo, Guanajuato, Chiapas, Yucatán, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Baja California, Veracruz, Puebla, Mexico state, and Mexico City.  The objective of these programs is to create positive and lasting changes in the quality of life of marginalized families through the active participation of boys, girls and adolescents in their own educational formation.  

In our educational programs Save the Children Mexico implements a non-traditional educational model (homework-help, creative pedagogical, recreational, cultural and athletic activities) for boys, girls and adolescents of 4 to 18 years of age living in at-risk rural and urban communities.
