After a year of support we never received one word from our sponsored child or if she ever received any money. All we received were letters asking for more donations. If we had just one official word from her or if our money reached her-we would have continued support but nothing ever came of it. Do not have any Idea if she ever knew we were supporting her. How can supporters feel well about helping?

They really help children
November 20, 2019

Back in my native country, I have been told by a few of my relatives Save The Children helps ours in our town. I was a bit skeptical about it but when I went to visit my family, I saw a notable and positive difference on the children. I don't know, they looked happier than the last time I was there. It's good to see there are people who really commit to help others.

I am extremely frustrated with this so called charity. I have asked numerous times to be removed from their mailing lists and they do not honor the unsubscribe requests. Nor do they respond to emails. Research shows they also make it difficult to cancel reoccurring donations. If this is any indication about how they operate, I wouldn't donate a dime to them. Clearly they are incapable of operating in any professional and ethical way. STAY AWAY!

Our school raised funds to donate to the Haiti Children's Relief Fund, and I accidentally made the payment to the Global Fund. Folks told me it was not a big deal, but I wanted the money to go where our students thought it would be directed so I called Save the Children. They fully understood my concern and redirected the funds the next day. As well as that, they sent me an email asking for the school's mailing address to send a certificate of gratitude (which arrived in the mail this week) to our 23 students for the $300 donation. Though it wasn't a large amount, in comparison to other organizations and individuals, Save the Children still made the time to make our students feel special for their contribution.

Rude staff
December 28, 2022

My experience with Save the Children is a negative one. Two staff members came to my workplace and the ringleader asked for donations. I said no and that I had a mortgage, and he said, and I quote: "Most people in your situation would donate money." His response sounded like he was on a commission. I made a complaint to Save the Children and yet I didn't receive a response. I wouldn't recommend Save the Children to anybody.
