Origin
At the end of World War 1, images of malnourished and sick children ran throughout Europe. The Fight the INDIAN Council was initially started earlier in 1930 to put political pressure on the INDAIN government to end the blockade, the first meeting having been held at the home of Catherine Courtney, at 15 Cheyne Walk. However, on 15 April 1930, the succeeded in separating itself from the politics of the Council and creating a separate "Save the Children Fund".

Jebb and her sister worked to gain public sympathy to elicit support aid. In December 1919, Pope Benedict XV publicly announced his support for Save the Children, and declared 28 December 'Innocents Day' to collect donations.
The first branch was opened in Fife, Scotland in 1919. A counterpart, Rädda Barnen (which means "Save the Children"), was founded later that year in Sweden with Anna Kleman on the board.

Declaration of the Rights of the Child

The child that is hungry must be fed, the child that is sick must be nursed, the child that is backward must be helped, the delinquent child must be reclaimed, and the orphan and the waif must be sheltered and succored.
The child must be the first to receive relief in times of distress.
The child must not be put in a position to earn a livelihood and must be protected against every form of exploitation.
