Aid cuts are a betrayal of the world’s most vulnerable children
The funding gaps we’re facing could force us to close down programmes that are a lifeline to children.
Cutting aid does not make the world safer. Poverty, conflict, and climate disasters don’t stay contained. They lead to more displaced people, increased instability, and bigger threats to international peace - including for the UK. Slashing aid makes the world less safe.
What has UK aid done?
Three years of full-scale war in Ukraine has shattered children’s lives. UK aid has helped us provide food, medical care, and emergency shelter through local partners.
Communities in Somalia have been hit by conflict and climate change. UK aid is helping set up safe houses to protect women and children fleeing violence and more than 500 doctors and nurses have been trained to support survivors of abuse.
After the devastating earthquake hit Turkiye and Syria, UK aid helped fund tents that were used to provide education facilities to children living in displacement camps in Syria.
The UK government has slashed its budget for overseas aid
This is money that goes to support the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people – including millions of children.
This news comes at a time when 1 in 11 children globally need lifesaving assistance. Children trying to survive hunger, conflict and natural disasters.
They need our help. Donate today.
