SAVE THE CHILDREN
Around the world, children continue to face extraordinary and growing challenges. Their lives, safety, well-being, and futures are under attack in an increasingly dangerous and unequal world.
More than 200 million children will need humanitarian assistance across 133 countries and territories this year alone.
Today, more than 520 million children are living in conflict. A further 251 million are out of school, and 4.9 million children under five die each year from preventable causes.
Behind these numbers are children in places like Afghanistan, Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine whose lives are being shaped by conflict, hunger, displacement and climate shocks every day, and often all at once.
Our work, and how we do it, is more vital than ever. Children deserve more than survival in crisis - they deserve safety, dignity and the chance to shape their own futures.
Together, we will ensure no child is left behind. Join us!

How we empower children
Health
We’re working to ensure all children have a healthy start in life. We believe that no child should die from preventable causes.
Resilience
We’re working to ensure children and their families are protected by strong, social safety nets, so they and future generations can cope with shocks and break out of poverty.
Education
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.
