How your charity donation impacts children
Lana *
Tima* and her family were displaced multiple times as fighting expanded across the Gaza strip. She was terrified about where she would be able to give birth safely.
In April 2024 baby Lana* became the first baby to be born at Save the Children’s new maternity unit in the Gaza Strip.
AHMED *
At just 7 months old, severe acute malnutrition left Ahmed* too weak to play. But with the determination and strength of his mum, Khadra*, he was able to get vital treatment and therapeutic food from a Save the Children‑supported stabilisation centre.
Now, he grows stronger each day - his big sister Kaltun* can finally hold him and play with him as they used to.
Tariq & Hana *
Displaced from their village, Tariq* and his 10-month old sister Hana* now live in a tent in northwestern Syria. Where Hana* suffers from severe hunger and malnutrition.
Just £7.28 a month can provide a week of life-saving peanut paste, helping children like Hana* regain their strength.

The impact of donations
When disaster strikes, we're there fast. In 2024, we responded to 112 emergencies across 71 countries, reaching 23.8 million people through our Children's Emergency Fund.
From earthquakes to conflict zones, we deliver what children need most – food, water, medical care and safe spaces – while the world watches and long after it looks away.
Speed saves lives. While other organisations are still mobilising, our pre-positioned supplies and on-the-ground teams mean we can respond within 72 hours of disaster striking. That's the difference between a child receiving urgent medical treatment or not. Between a family getting clean water or drinking contaminated supplies.
What emergency response looks like:
- Medical teams treating injured and sick children in conflict zones
- Child Friendly Spaces providing safety, routine and play amid chaos
- Emergency education programmes keeping learning alive during crisis
- Family reunification services for separated children
- Distribution of food, water, shelter and essential supplies
For example, as of February 2025, our team in Ukraine has reached over 3.8 million children. Through support of donors and our 25 partners we’ve been able to:
- Support over 300,000 children with education support
- Provide over 470,000 people with cash assistance
- Provide 2.6 million people with water, sanitation, and hygiene support (WASH)
- Distribute temporary shelter and essential items to 415,000 people
- Provide mental health and child protection support to over 349,000 people
