Regular Giving

Premature birth is one of the leading causes of death for children under 5.

Conventional care requires equipment that many families don’t have access to locally and cannot afford to access at expensive district hospitals.

At Save the Children, we believe all children have the right to not only survive but thrive. That’s why we promote a mother-centred practice called Kangaroo Mother Care: a high-impact, low-cost method based around skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby.

This simple approach not only keeps premature babies warm, free from stress, and close to their mother’s heartbeat. Importantly, it also greatly improves their chances of survival.

For us to continue to scale this programme, we need to train more nurses, midwives, and volunteers. Regular donations are the best way to enable us to do this, as we can confidently plan for the future.

Meet Ria*, a young girl from the Saptari district in Nepal, who defied societal norms to pursue her passion for cricket. In a community where girls were traditionally expected to stay at home and cook, Ria found an opportunity to break free from these constraints.

"When we are playing cricket in the field, I feel happy...I feel strong"...

In collaboration with Save the Children and its partner, Sabal Nepal, the first girls' cricket team was formed as part of a campaign against child marriage. As these girls took the field and began winning, they shattered preconceived notions about what girls can achieve. Their success has had a profound impact on the prevalence of child marriage in the region

By working closely with local partners and empowering child groups, Save the Children is equipping children with the knowledge and tools to challenge harmful social norms. Together, they are driving lasting change in their communities.

"With honeybee training I know if I do it well, I am able to earn money for my family," - Alison, 43.

Save the Children is standing alongside communities in the the Solomon Islands against the climate crisis.

In collaboration with local NGO, Mai Maaasina Green Belt, our Nature Based Solutions project aims to restore protective ecosystems like mangroves, and help families diversify their income away from farming.

Mangroves protect islands, wildlife, and store carbon, combating climate change. And just a single kilo of honey makes $200, and with potential yields of up to $4,000. With that money, Alison can pay for her children’s school fees, giving them opportunities to thrive. She can make sure they’re well fed too – even when heavy rain inevitably affects her garden in future.
