Children in Emergencies
What would you save?
If you have to flee a crisis, maybe you take your clothes, your mobile phone and a favourite toy. But security, an income, a safe place to play and learn, the ability to just be a child – all these get left behind. That’s what Save the Children is for. We provide all the things that don’t fit in a suitcase.

We hold the Line
Our unwavering commitment for children in Gaza means staying present and principled, rejecting militarized aid, ensuring deconfliction, and preparing flexibly. Even if forced to pause programming, we remain ready to resume stronger.
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.
