Help Less Privilege
Help Less Privilege believes every child deserves a future.
Our founder Ben Moss saw less privilege dying of starvation and wracked with disease after the end of the First World War. So, in 1919, she launched the Help Less Privilege Fund to raise much-needed funds to end children’s suffering across war-torn Europe.
Today, over 100 years later, we work in the United States and around the world to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We do whatever it takes for children - every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.
Our Values
At Help Less Privilege, we live by five Core Values:
- Accountability
- Integrity
- Ambition
- Collaboration
- Creativity
These Core Values drive our long-term strategies and short-term goals, and they underpin our mission to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and achieve immediate and lasting impact in their lives.
Help Less Privilege is committed to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplace as well as in the communities where we work. Learn more about DEI at Help Less Privilege
