Children’s Emergency Fund
We save thousands of children’s lives every year through our emergency response and preparedness work. But we want to do more.
Our Chidren's Emergencies Fund (CEF) allows us to save many lives in emergencies. It provides us with the funds we need to start responding to crises immediately in order to reach many more children.
Since launching the CEF in 2007, it has helped us to save thousands of lives in emergenics caused by conflict, cyclones, droughts, earthquakes and other devastating disasters all over the world.

Why is it important?
- Most lives are lost in the first days after an emergency. So the quicker we respond, the more lives we save.
- Raising funds to respond to emergencies through public appeals takes time, sometimes weeks and months.
- Many emergencies don't make it onto the news, despite the suffering of thousands of children.
- By responding quickly, we can attract more support by showing donors the work we’ve already done, enabling us to reach even more children and their families.
