Children are at urgent risk.

Governments across the world are slashing foreign aid budgets that millions of children facing the toughest challenges depend on. These aid cuts mean children will arrive at closed clinics, go without meals, face forced labor or marriage, and suffer trauma alone. The impact is devastating.

"Dear World Leaders: Put Children First. Invest in their Future."

On the 30th of June, world leaders will come together at the Global Financing for Development Conference in Seville, Spain. We will stand before leaders with the names of everyone who signs this petition, delivering a powerful message: All children deserve a fair future.

Please sign the petition and join us to secure essential funding for children and stop the impact of aid cuts.

Amongst all the political turmoil right now, other types of critical funding for the most vulnerable children are at risk of being lost. These actions send a clear message that children are not a priority. We can’t let this happen. Children need us NOW more than ever. Millions suffer from poverty, war, hunger, climate catastrophe and access to education at this very moment.  

We are at a pivotal moment. Leaders have the power to create lasting change, but they must choose to put children first. Save the Children is working tirelessly to bridge the gaps, but we cannot do this alone. 

With the right decisions, world leaders can save lives—but we must stand together and demand that they don’t compromise the futures of children. Global leaders, institutions, and civil society must work together to meet immediate needs but also create a financial system and solutions that effectively supports children in the long term.

Join us and the growing movement calling on leaders to put children first. Take action and sign the petition now.

Together, we can make sure they hear our voices. Together, we can make sure no child is left behind.
