The
Safe Kids Worldwide Campaign is the first and only national
non-profit organization dedicated solely to the prevention of
unintentional childhood injury - the number one killer of children
ages 14 and under.
More than 450 coalitions in 15 countries bring together health
and safety experts, educators, corporations, foundations,
governments and volunteers to educate and protect families. The
organization was founded in 1987 by Children's National Medical
Center with support from Johnson & Johnson. Safe Kids Worldwide is
a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Washington, D.C.
The heart of the Safe Kids Worldwide Campaign's unique approach to
injury prevention is the network of grassroots coalitions. The
knowledge, energy and commitment of coalition members are valued
assets; the campaign's tremendous success in preventing childhood
unintentional injury would not be possible without them.
