Another means with which Save the Children Fund aimed to raise funds was through direct marketing and sales. In the 1950s they launched their Christmas cards catalogue and from this expanded to a range of gifts sold through regular brochures. Items ranged from homeware and gardening to toys, books and clothing.

Here is a photo of the 30 blankets I paid for to give out to some kids at the Children's Center that Save the Children is working with and/or running.
Those familiar with my blog may recognize the TNT box underneath the blankets. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to give those away that day.
This photo is a supplement to the video I have on YouTube. You can see that video here.
30 of these kids got blankets from me. I wish I could have given them all something.

A young boy selling dried fish at the crossing of the Zambezi River. The only way to cross the big river is to take a ferry. Travelers on either side wait for the ferry and boys such as this take advantage of the delayed travelers. However, this waiting has also lead to increased incidents of sexual abuse of children (like this one). Save the Children UK is working on increasing police presence in the area and providing services to the children.

"After the thsunami in Japan, the Children Council approached me and wanted to share the sadness with children in Japan. They prepared a greeting to Japanese children, and asked if I could have it brought to Japanese children." Shrugging his shoulders he exclaims, "I didn't know what to do!", he smiles and continue, "but I got in touch with a Japanese contact here, and asked him to pass the greeting to Japan, but I don't know if it has arrived."

The Save the Children Fund has been closely connected with campaigning for children’s rights throughout its history. Eglantyne Jebb, one of the charity's founders, drafted the Children’s Charter in 1923 based around five key principles. These formed the basis of the League of Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of the Child published in 1924, itself the forerunner of the UN Convention. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, containing 54 articles, was adopted in 1989 and ratified by the UK Government in 1991.
Since the 1990s, many of the Fund's programmes have directly worked to promote child rights, and to enable children to use their own voices.
