Save the Children's 'model villages'
During the 1920s the Save the Children Fund (SCF) primarily used its funds to make grants to other child welfare and aid organisations working in the field. One of the organisations SCF supported was the Armenian Refugees (Lord Mayor's) Fund, which assisted with the resettlement of Armenian refugees. SCF went on to establish model villages for refugee families in Bulgaria and Albania. The villages provided housing, land, and facilities to enable refugees to become self-supporting.
