More children are surviving their early years than ever before. That’s incredible progress. But our job is far from done - more than 5 million under-fives still die each year. And every death is a tragedy.

How a determined mum transformed Fatima's life

At just 9 months old, severe malnutrition left Fatima too weak to stand. But with the determination and strength of her mum, she was able to get vital treatment and nutritious food from a Save the Children-supported health centre.
Five months on, she's blossoming into a healthy baby and is walking and playing with big sister, Fatun*.
Yet each year, 3 million children die because they're undernourished.
With support from people like you, we can help more children like Fatima get the life-saving treatment they need.
Vital treatment for twins Emmanuel & Delian
Twins Delian (left) and Emmanuel (right) stand outside their hut in Kenya. Two years ago they were successfully treated for pneumonia.
Just 13 months into their lives, twins Emmanuel and Delian were struggling to breathe. Worried sick, their mum, Deborah knew she had to act fast. She got help from a Save the Children-trained community health volunteer, who sent the twins to hospital for urgent treatment for pneumonia.
The boys were given intravenous and oral antibiotics. To Deborah’s relief, their condition began to improve.
Now healthy three-year-old toddlers, Emmanuel and Delian are full of energy, making their way in a world bursting with possibility.
Your donation could help more children like these bouncing boys to explore who and what they can be.
With the right support, there are endless possibilities for children like Fatima*, Emmanuel and Delian.
