The provided text outlines the comprehensive history and operational evolution of Save the Children, beginning with its radical origins in post-World War I Europe, where sisters Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton founded it out of moral outrage against the Allied blockade. It details the organization's swift growth, its pioneering use of media for fundraising, and Jebb's pivotal role in establishing the 1924 Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child, a precursor to modern human rights treaties. The text traces Save the Children's expansion through major global crises like the Second World War, the Biafran famine, and the Ethiopian famine, highlighting its adaptability from emergency relief to long-term development work. Finally, it addresses the organization's modern transformation into a unified global entity, its current programmatic focus on areas like health, education, and child protection, and recent challenges including internal safeguarding failures, political controversies, and the strategic decision to end its long-standing child sponsorship model.

Research done with the help of artificial intelligence, and presented by two AI-generated hosts.
