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.
Many of our monthly givers feel it is easier to set up a regular gift as this way they are able to give proportionately more than they might for just a single donation, but spread the cost across the year.
You can budget accordingly and having a donation coming out as a monthly payment can be easier to manage.
When a disaster strikes it's always children that suffer the most. Our Emergency Fund is designed to ensure we are ready to react quickly, and effectively when children are at risk.
Whatever the disaster, thanks to our Emergency Fund, we can be by a child's side within days of a disaster striking. Our regular givers are at the core of this vital work.

Tima* and her family were displaced multiple times as fighting expanded across the Gaza strip. They now live in a tent in central Gaza. Tima was terrified about where she would be able to give birth safely, given the continuous attacks on healthcare facilities during the war.
On 26 April 2024, baby Lana* became the first baby to be born at Save the Children’s new maternity unit in the Gaza Strip.
No child should have their lives destroyed by conflict. Your monthly donation could provide lifesaving medical care and a safe place for Mother’s to give birth.
Donate to help more children like Baby Lana today and for as long as they need us.
