In times of crisis, conflict and disaster, children’s lives can suddenly come to a standstill. Without enough food, clean water and medical care, they are at risk of severe malnutrition and life-threatening diseases. Children’s homes, playgrounds, schools and prospects are shattered by violence or destroyed by bombs. Playing, learning and safety – the chance to simply be a child –must wait.

Icon Kind

About 1 in 5 children worldwide is displaced or living in conflict.

In deadly conflicts such as Ukraine, Syria, Gaza or Yemen, children are the most vulnerable, but also surprisingly resilient. With support, they can overcome the worst situations and challenges. To be a child should never be put on hold.

Thanks to your help, we can be better prepared, respond faster and provide sustainable support. Join us in protecting children’s rights.

WE’RE THERE BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER

When disaster strikes, Save the Children is there. We are working with local partners and experts to act early and fast.

We help people prepare for disasters: We deliver relief, vaccinating children against likely diseases, improving early warning systems, and reinforcing homes and schools with sandbags ahead of predicted flooding.

We're there, when every second matters: We provide essential food and drinking water, blankets and hygiene kits, and emergency shelter. Because even in crises, being a child cannot wait. We provide child-friendly accommodation at short notice so that children have a safe place to play and learn.

We stay to help children recover and thrive: We provide access to education, primary healthcare services, safe spaces for children to play, talk, and process their terrifying experiences.

Thanks to your help, we can be better prepared, react faster and provide sustainable support.
Help us to make sure children can confidently enjoy their rights.
