We provide newborn healthcare, malnutrition screening and treatment, and help prevent disease around the world.
In times of disaster, Save the Children responds to children's needs and ensures their survival.
Education empowers children to combat poverty and achieve health and safety. Therefore, we strive to ensure every child has access to education from the very beginning.
We often work in the most remote and challenging areas for children.
As a global leader in child health, education, and protection, we operate in 113 countries, improving the lives of more than 110 million children each year.
Every child deserves a healthy start to life, access to education, and protection from harm.
Experience: 5 Years
Children and their families across Africa have already been struggling through a decade of climate shocks, regular food crises and conflict.
Countries across the continent already grappling with hunger and hit by other crises, including the climate crisis in the Horn of Africa, remain at risk. Through our emergency relief, health and nutrition, education and protection programs, Save the Children is working to transform the lives of Africa's children.
The impacts of the pandemic have led to an increase in poverty, a loss of livelihoods and less access to health and nutrition services, pushing up rates of hunger and malnutrition across Asia and the Middle East.
This has reversed years of progress made in the battle against malnutrition, with children in Asia being among the hardest hit—especially those in poorer households or in crises and conflict zones.
Save the Children is on the ground in the region’s conflict zones, leading the world in protecting children from the physical and emotional wounds of war. And in areas hardest hit by deadly natural disasters, Save the Children is there, and often among the first to respond.
Here, we spotlight the latest news stories from our teams around the world, the communities we serve and the children whose futures are brighter — all because of your commitment to our shared cause.
This summer, I traveled to Syria —visiting Save the Children’s programs in Damascus, Aleppo and Idlib. After fourteen years of brutal conflict, the country remains deeply scarred. The scale of destruction is staggering, and the humanitarian needs are immense. Yet, amid the rubble, I witnessed something powerful: hope, resilience, cooperation, and a quiet determination to rebuild.
These moments reminded me that while humanitarian aid remains essential, it must evolve. We need to move beyond temporary fixes toward long-term, locally-led solutions where communities have the power to shape their own futures.
We know that sustainable progress can only be made in partnership with others. Donors and partners are engaging with authorities on repairing schools and re-enrolling out-of-school children. I also observed a growing number of opportunities for meaningful engagement across government actors.
