Your monthly donation could provide lifesaving medical care and fund the creation of safe spaces for children caught up in conflict and disasters around the world. 

Your donations mean we can deliver:

  • Mental health services to help children cope with trauma
  • Education through learning centres
  • Long-term medical care
  • Access to cash and food vouchers to empower families to choose how they support their children
  • Safe Spaces for Children to give them a sense of normality

Your monthly donation could provide children and families affected by war, natural disasters and other crisis across the world, with life-saving essentials like food, water and healthcare.

Your generous donation could provide children and families affected by the war in Gaza, as well as other disasters across the world, with life-saving essentials like food, water and crucial mental health support. It can also help create lasting change through longer term programmes to alleviate poverty and the chronic impact of climate change.

Gaza’s children are being bombed in their tents and make-shift shelters as their living nightmare continues. This massacre comes after they’ve been cut off from food and aid.

Famine has now officially been confirmed in Gaza. Over 100 children have died from starvation. They are being starved by design. We cannot sit by and let this continue.

C​hildren in Gaza are terrified; terrified they may be killed at any moment; terrified that they may not be able to find any more food or water to survive.

Our work in Gaza

Our incredible supporters have not let the world forget Gaza’s children – giving what they can and speaking out for a ceasefire. With their support, Save the Children has been able to reach more than 1.5 million people in Gaza.

While operations in Gaza are becoming more challenging by the day, Save the Children remains committed to providing lifesaving aid to the children of Gaza. Working with local partner organisations, we are:

  • Running two primary health care centres to provide maternal and newborn care and screening and treating children for acute malnutrition
  • Carrying out water trucking so that families have safe water to drink
  • Running child friendly spaces to ensure children have a safe space to play, receive psychosocial support and escape from the traumatic experiences they’re enduring
  • Providing cash to families so they can buy food and any other essentials

With your support, we’ll be there for many more children around the world, for as long as they need us, so they can start to recover and see beyond tomorrow.
