Description
With over 100 years experience in working with and for children, across 115 countries, Save the Children has witnessed, countless times, the importance of a single moment that can change the course of a child’s life. Through powerful storytelling, London-based independent advertising agency, Don’t Panic brings this narrative to life, following the lives of three children as they progress, reconnect and arrive.
An established organisation, Save the Children, like any NGO, relies upon its supporter base to ensure it can carry out life-changing work. Together with families, supporters and partners, the charity works to help every child get the future they deserve. Making sure that every child has the right to learn, has good food to fuel their bodies and medicine when they're sick. Since 1919 Save the Children has fought for a fairer world for children.
Screened across UK TV and social media, ‘Our Proudest Moments Are Theirs’, tells the story of three protagonists in moments of their own, all facilitated by Save the Children; a baby born in rural Liberia, a young Bangladeshi girl being reunited with her mother and a 9 year old boy going to school for the first time in a Syrian refugee camp. The baby is born with the help of Save the Children trained midwife ‘Alice’; a story based in fact, inspired by the tale of Alice Sumo. Alice, ‘one of the world’s busiest midwives’ who delivered her first baby in a street at gunpoint, in war-torn Liberia. Over the last 28 years, Alice has delivered over 1,000 babies named after her; a whole community, with ages ranging from 30 years to a few weeks old. Alice is portrayed by an actress who, like the real Alice, travels on a motorbike to a rural community to help Lucy through her labour. This story is framed by two others; Ali, a young refugee who attends school run by Save the Children for the first time in a Syrian camp and learns to write his name. And, Milli who is reunited with her mother in Bangladesh, as part of a Save the Children reunification programme, after having been separated for a year.
