Save the Children Protects and Counsels Children in Conflict Areas


Based in Ottawa, Canada, We Planet Earth is an organization that raises awareness of global issues and the need to address them. Founded by Miles Duggal, We Planet Earth supports various global charities that work to end human suffering, including Save the Children.

On a mission to ensure that all children in the world have the opportunity to live and learn, Save the Children also protects kids from violence, abuse, and exploitation. Up to 75 percent of children in the world face violence. This can be physical, sexual, or emotional violence.

Most of these children live in conflict areas or regions susceptible to pandemics. Growing up exposed to such violence can leave children with life-long physical and/or mental health problems.

Save the Children’s mission is to protect all children from violence. The organization also provides counseling and rehabilitative support to help kids cope with trauma. In 2017, the organization’s protection efforts reached three million children.
