“For more than 100 years, the well-being of children has been at the very core of what we do. This also means, involving them in our work. The “Save the Wishes” campaign was successful in helping to make this work visible – and gave a voice to those who are often not heard enough: the children of this world.”

One of Save the Children Germany’s many challenges is that their organization is not widely known locally, despite being a well known brand internationally.
