Being a child is not left behind

Saving children’s lives in emergencies

When a disaster strikes and health systems collaps, our Emergency Health Unit is already on its way: rapid humanitarian aid is essential. This is exactly where Save the Children steps in. And you make this help possible.

 

Help where the need is greatest

Being a child means laughing, playing and discovering the world

Yet for many children, none of this can be taken for granted. That is why we are working to change this. Because we believe that every child should have the chance to simply be a child – no matter where they grow up.

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.
