Hello,

About 91²Ö¿â

91²Ö¿â believes every child deserves a future.Ìý

Our founderÌýEglantyne JebbÌýsaw children dying of starvation and wracked with disease after the end of the First World War. So, in 1919, she launched the 91²Ö¿â Fund to raise much-needed funds to end children’s suffering across war-torn Europe.

Today, over 100 years later, we work inÌýthe United States and around the worldÌýto 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 crisisÌý–Ìýtransforming their lives and the future we share.
