Partner spotlights
When disaster strikes, it’s critical to collaborate with international organizations, NGOs, and partners alike to ensure that we can provide help where it’s needed. But we can’t do this alone. We’re proud to partner with nonprofits and support employees to prioritize assistance in emergency events.
Save the Children
The pace of our world is accelerating, and with it, the digital landscape is rapidly evolving. Every half second, a child takes their first steps into the online world. Today, every child is a participant in the digital ecosystem, and many of them view it as a source of great potential. Access to technology can empower children to exercise their full range of civic, political, and social rights. However, access to technology is not distributed equally, and it is not always a safe or positive experience. Save the Children aims to help build a digital world for---and with—children that is safe and positive. We’re working together to help create an equitable world in which children can participate and benefit from technology.
