Our focus
Poverty, conflicts, disasters and crises are reasons why children suffer worldwide. Save the Children works to ensure that every child grows up healthy, has access to education, and is protected from violence and exploitation.
Hunger crisis
From Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan, wars are driving more and more people into hunger. Our teams are working around the clock in all the affected countries.

Children in need
Childhood Cannot wait
While we’re packing lunches, setting up appointments and taking the kids to school, the lives of other children have come to a standstill. Crises and conflicts are robbing children of things they should never have to do without. A safe place to sleep. A warm meal. The first day of school. A moment of play.
Things to which they have rights – protection, education, nutrition and security – remain largely unattainable.
