Save the Children and IKEA have been working together for almost two decades now. In its role as a children's organization, Save the Children was instrumental in the development of IKEA's policy against child labour.

For every soft toy purchased during the Christmas season, money is donated to help Save the Children and UNICEF educate children. In 2012, the IKEA Foundation funded Save the Children's education projects in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Lithuania, Myanmar, the Philippines and Romania.
