	Save the Children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Save the Children Fund was founded in London in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb and her sister Dorothy Buxton.
		It sustained the organisation after Jebb's death in 1929 and on into the lean years of the 1930s, when income shrank to a trickle.
		However, the children's rights-based approach originated by Eglantyne Jebb continues to be an important factor, with, for example, a major campaign in the late 1990s against the use of child soldiers.

		Eglantyne Jebb and her sister, Dorothy Buxton, were the founders of Save the Children in the UK.

		Eglantyne Jebb was the first to press for worldwide safeguards for children and the development of the concept of children's rights was, perhaps, her most important legacy.

		Linda Mahood says British philanthropist Eglantyne Jebb, who founded the Save the Children Fund, broke new ground with her children's rights advocacy but is largely overlooked.
		Jebb, who lived from 1876 to 1928, was the British founder of the international Save the Children Fund (SCF).
		Jebb believed that children, no matter what country they lived in, must be helped — a daring and novel idea for the early 20th century.

		Her name was Eglantyne Jebb, and for years she had devoted her life to helping the world's needy and handicapped children.
		But on that afternoon Eglantyne Jebb's mind was not concerned with problems of organization; rather she was taking stock of what she and her friends and colleagues in the charitable movements in many countries had been accomplishing in appealing for public generosity to aid unfortunate children.
		And suddenly an inspiration came to her, -- suddenly she saw that what really mattered was that help should come to these children as a matter of right, not as a consequence of generosity for charity's sake.
