Children's Emergency Fund

In the past year, we’ve seen major cuts to foreign aid budgets by governments around the world, even as global instability deepens. Humanitarian need is rising, while the resources available to meet it are shrinking. In that context, our work, and how we do it, is more vital than ever.
