Throughout 2025, Save the Children—working directly and in close partnership with national and international organizations—supported conflict‑affected and displaced communities across the country. With support from the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF), our multi‑sectoral response reached families in Khartoum, Gezira, River Nile, Greater Kordofan, Greater Darfur, Gedaref, Blue Nile, and Red Sea states.This flexible, context‑responsive approach ensured that life‑saving assistance reached people in hard‑to-access areas while remaining grounded in local knowledge, participation, and community engagement. We are pleased to share highlights of how SHF‑supported interventions helped restore access to essential services, protect dignity, and strengthen community resilience across multiple sectors and locations. A comprehensive overview of results, geographic coverage, and sector achievements is available in the full SHF 2025 Impact Highlights. Restoring Access to Essential ServicesWater, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): Access to clean water and safe sanitation is critical for displaced and host communities. WASH interventions improved water supply, upgraded sanitation facilities, and promoted safer hygiene practices. These efforts played a vital role in preventing disease and supporting outbreak response in areas affected by cholera and other public health risks.Health & Nutrition: Save the Children re‑established access to essential primary healthcare and nutrition services in displacement‑heavy and conflict‑affected areas. Through fixed facilities and mobile teams, children and caregivers received treatment for common illnesses, maternal and reproductive healthcare, and services to prevent and treat acute malnutrition—often free of charge and close to home.Food Security & Livelihoods (FSL): Food security and livelihood activities helped families meet immediate food needs while restoring their ability to earn income. By combining short‑term assistance with livelihood inputs and training, households strengthened their resilience, reduced harmful coping mechanisms, and were better equipped to withstand the ongoing crisis.Protection: In a context marked by displacement, psychosocial stress, and heightened protection concerns our protection program supported children and caregivers through child‑friendly spaces, psychosocial support, and community‑based protection mechanisms. These services helped restore a sense of safety, dignity, and normalcy for children living through conflict.Emergency Shelter and Non‑Food Items (NFI): For families displaced by violence or sudden shocks, emergency shelter and NFI assistance provided essential household items and temporary shelter materials. This support enabled families to stabilize, settle, and begin rebuilding their lives in new and often challenging environments. a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } Real Stories, Real ImpactBehind every intervention are real families whose lives have been transformed through timely, dignified assistance.“The seeds, tools, and training we received created real opportunities for my family. I learned how to produce vegetable seedlings—especially tomatoes and onions—and sell them in the local market. This has raised our family’s income. These agricultural inputs and knowledge were some of the best forms of support we could have received.”— Mother and farmer, North Kordofan State“Before, the journey for healthcare was long, exhausting, and expensive. Not everyone could afford transport, consultations, or medicines.”— Father of three, Khartoum State“Save the Children brought us 12 water tiers and built emergency latrines. Open defecation stopped completely. They also led cleaning campaigns and hygiene awareness sessions. Together, this eliminated cholera from the camp. We are truly grateful for the hygiene kits we received.”— Mother of two, Blue Nile State a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

New figures show at least 1,360 children were released from armed groups in the eastern province of Ituri in 2025. However, 13,000 children in the province remained in armed groups, meaning only about one in 10 children gained freedom last year.

The current rate of evacuation means it would take 4.5 years for the 20,000 people including 4,000 children needing medical care to leave Gaza, Save the Children said.

Stepping into pageantry at the age of 38, as a working mother and humanitarian, is not about titles or crowns—it’s about visibility. Drawing from her work with Save the Children Thailand and her own lived experience of motherhood, Chanita Craythorne, better known as 'Sammy' shares why supporting mothers is inseparable from supporting children. In this blog, she speaks candidly about the hidden emotional labor mothers carry, the dangers of neglecting maternal wellbeing, and her decision to speak openly about postpartum depression to help break long-standing silence and stigma

Safer Internet Day takes place on 10 February. This year, Safer Internet Day focuses on smart tech, safe choices and the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). You can use these tips to support responsible AI use and safer online experiences for children and families.

In recent weeks, we have once again seen what happens when powerful AI tools are released at scale with weak safeguards. People use them to sexualise and humiliate others, and children end up dealing with the consequences.Smart tech must come with safe choices built-in. AI can bring extraordinary benefits, but no innovation is worth a world where children have to live with the fear that any photo could be weaponised against them.

Save the Children expresses deep alarm over the rapidly escalating and increasingly brutal violence against children in Zimbabwe. Recently, social media revealed a shocking rise in cases of children being sexually violated, beaten to death, burned, abducted or kidnapped thereby going missing, often at the hands of caregivers, relatives, community figures, or trusted adults.

6 Şubat 2023’te meydana gelen 7,7 ve 7,6 büyüklüğündeki depremlerin üzerinden üç yıl geçerken, afetten etkilenen bölgelerde çocuklar ve aileler için ihtiyaçlar devam ediyor. Depremler, 2,5 milyonu çocuk ve 1,7 milyonu mülteci olmak üzere toplam 9,1 milyon insanı doğrudan etkileyen büyük ölçekli bir insani krize yol açtı. 50 binden fazla insan yaşamını yitirdi, 2,7 milyon kişi yerinden edildi ve temel hizmetler aksadı.

As three years have passed since the 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude earthquakes that struck on February 6, 2023, the needs of children and families in the affected regions continue. The earthquakes triggered a large-scale humanitarian crisis, directly affecting 9.1 million people, including 2.5 million children and 1.7 million refugees. More than 50,000 lives were lost, 2.7 million people were displaced, and essential services were severely disrupted.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Partnership (IPC) alerts today of famine-level acute malnutrition detected in two more localities in North Darfur, Um Baru and Kernoi. Just three months ago, the IPC warned that famine was ongoing in Darfur and Kordofan states, with a high risk that these conditions would further spread.The newly identified levels of acute malnutrition represent extreme, life-threatening deprivation, and famine may soon be confirmed by the IPC in these additional areas. For small children, the danger is especially acute: malnutrition gravely weakens their immunity, leaving them far more vulnerable to disease at a time when healthcare and other services have been severely disrupted, if not collapsed entirely. We know from global experience that famine confirmations often come too late. Thousands may have already died, and many surviving children are likely to face lifelong damage.This new alert confirms what communities and responders have been fearing for months. Starvation is rising, and becoming entrenched in areas humanitarian actors are prevented from accessing. Even in places where we can operate, resources are drastically insufficient to meet overwhelming needs and halt the spread of hunger.Save the Children, along with 21 international humanitarian organisations warn that other areas are likely to be facing similar catastrophic conditions. Yet escalating conflict and severe access restrictions prevent comprehensive assessments and timely response. For nearly three years, armed actors in Sudan have conducted deliberate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure essential for survival. Sudan is also the site of a relentless war on women and girls, who continue to face systematic conflict-related sexual violence. This violence has displaced millions from their homes and livelihoods, devastated people’s ability to produce and distribute food, and routinely blocked their access to water, healthcare and protection services.Restricted humanitarian access, continued funding shortfalls and insufficient political will are converging into a catastrophe that should never have been allowed to unfold. Without immediate and unhindered access for humanitarian operations, alongside a rapid increase in resources, including to local actors, the spread of starvation will not cease.Note to Editors:List of INGOs: Action Against Hunger (ACF), Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA), CARE, Concordis, Cooperazione Internazionale (COOPI), DanChurchAid (DCA), Danish Refugee Council (DRC), Humanity & Inclusion (HI), International Rescue Committee (IRC), LM International, MedGlobal, Medical Teams International (MTI), Mercy Corps, Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Plan International, Relief International (RI), Save the Children, Solidarités International (SI),Trócaire, Vétérinaires Sans Frontières (VSF), and World Vision.Sudan remains the world’s largest hunger, protection and displacement crisis, with over 33 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and over 9 million displaced internally.Nearly 29 million people are acutely food insecure (61.7% of the population)Almost 10.2 million people fall into the severe and extreme categories of food insecurity, levels associated with extreme hunger, malnutrition and death.Women are disproportionately affected: female-headed households are three times more likely to be food insecure than those led by menAcute malnutrition for children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and breastfeeding women is expected to deteriorate in 2026, with nearly 4.2 million estimated cases of acute malnutrition, including more than 800,000 cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). This number is expected to rise as the situation continues to deteriorate.Barely 40% of the required funding to address the humanitarian crisis was secured in 202557%, more than half of the displaced people who are suffering from hunger do not receive aid due to lack of funding.

New data released today by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), global acute malnutrition rates in the Um Baru and Kernoi localities have reached nearly 53% and 34% respectively, with concerns that nearby areas may also be experiencing similar catastrophic conditions, with the extent remaining unknown due to access constraints [1].

For years, Ndikiray struggled to provide enough nutritious food for her two young sons, relying on basic meals that left them vulnerable to malnutrition. Everything began to change when she joined Save the Children’s Lishe Yangu, Maisha Yangu project and received training and a dairy goat. What followed was more than improved nutrition it was new income, growing confidence, and a future she can finally plan for.
