Make a big difference with a small monthly donation
A £10 monthly donation to charity equates to just 34p a day which can help create a world where all children are fed, cared for and treated fairly.
Why monthly donations are important
Our regular givers are a vital part of Save the Children.
Having guaranteed income from our generous monthly givers means we are able to plan for long term solutions and invest in bigger projects. This means we are able to look not just at reactive work to support children - for example after natural disasters - but also develop sustainable and ongoing support for children.
This could be anything from providing longterm psychosocial support for children affected by conflict, or setting up initatives such as our FAST program in schools to support children's long-term learning.”
Thanks to you...
All of this has been possible

Drone delivery
Imagine driving for hours down a bumpy rural track while in labour.
For many expectant mothers in the Mahama refugee camp, Rwanda, this was their reality. For many, sadly, it was a fatal reality.
At Save the Children, we believe all women and babies deserve the right to a safe birth, whatever their circumstances, so we set up a maternity unit within the camp and partnered with a drone delivery company so that vital medicine and supplies could be delivered in minutes by air.
Without our team of over 300,000 regular donors, long-term projects like this simply would not be possible.
If you too believe lasting change is possible, join us today.
Skin-to-skin to save lives
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.
Smashing boundaries
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.
Buzzing 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.
