In Afghanistan, thousands of children are affected by the country's worst earthquake in two decades.

Meanwhile, children living in East Africa are on the brink of one of the worst famines in 40 years.

When violence erupted in Myanmar’s Rakhine state in August 2017, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya families were forced to flee. Thanks to our supporters, we reached over 780,000 people, including 454,000 children with lifesaving aid.

When a tsunami hit Indonesia in 2018, leaving a trail of destruction, supporters' generosity helped Save the Children set up clinics, erect temporary schools and provided shelter. We reached 189,466 people, roughly half of them children.

Even before cyclones Idai and Kenneth hit southern Africa in 2019,  the 1.5m children affected were among some of the most disadvantaged in the world. With your support, we raised a fantastic £1.6m to help children recover.

And after a large blast at Beirut's port in August 2020, our Beirut explosion response was set up to provide immediate support through our emergency fund.
