SAVE THE CHILDREN

Children’s lives, safety, well-being, and futures are under attack in an increasingly dangerous and unequal world.

Nearly 300 million people – or 1 in 27 people – are expected to need humanitarian assistance this year. We will aim to assist 15.9 million children across 46 countries in response to the most significant threat to children’s rights in recent memory.

Together, we will ensure no child is left behind. Join us!

Learning has amazing power to change a child’s world. We are working to close the global learning gap by making sure children settle at school and get a quality education.

Protection

We are working with all our partners to protect children – especially girls and those in conflict situations – from physical and emotional violence, online and offline, and help survivors become healthy, nurturing adults.
