Save the Children Global Ventures is pioneering the first series of child-focused investment funds utilising a 'child-lens'. Child-lens investing integrates considerations of children's rights and well-being across investment processes to advance positive outcomes for children.

We have developed tools to guide our child-lens investing approach – from rigorous pre-investment screening to impact measurement post-investment – ensuring our investments deliver exceptionally high impact for children.
