Mission
Save the Children Romania fights for children’s rights. We influence public opinion and support children at risk. We influence legislation and policies in the benefit of children.
We are working together with children and young people to achieve change and lasting improvements for children.
We recognise and underline the responsibilities and duties of parents, guardians, teachers and other authorities for the well-being of children. We support parents and specialists working with children to fulfill their obligations.
Save the Children Romania is guided by the fundamental values expressed in the UN Declaration on Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and is founded on the conviction that:

• All children and adults are of equal value
• Children have special rights
• All children have a right to life and development
• • No child should be discriminated against
  • All children have a right to be heard
  • The Child’s best interests should be a guide
