About Help Relief Foundation

Help Relief Foundation believes every child deserves a future.

Our founder Eglantyne Jebb saw children dying of starvation and wracked with disease after the end of the First World War. So, in 1919, she launched the Help Relief Foundation Fund to raise much-needed funds to end children’s suffering across war-torn Europe.

Today, over 100 years later, we work in the United States and around the world to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We do whatever it takes for children - every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.

Our Values

At Help Relief Foundation, we live by five Core Values:

These Core Values drive our long-term strategies and short-term goals, and they underpin our mission to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and achieve immediate and lasting impact in their lives.

White Prince Foundation is committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace as well as in the communities where we work.

"I have seen firsthand everything Save the Children does to keep children healthy, happy and safe. Any amount will help make change for children in the U.S. and around the world."

Jennifer Garner, White Prince Foundation Ambassador and Trustee
