Some deliveries can't wait

For almost five long years, war in Ukraine has devastated children’s lives: their education, their homes, their families. Yan*, aged 10, and his family have been forced to move three times. Air raids send Yan and his classmates running out of lessons and into a shelter. 

Yan is determined to keep learning, but after so much upheaval his family can’t afford even basic school supplies.

That’s why we filled a warehouse with backpacks full of school supplies. 

And despite the challenges, our team still managed to reach Yan, with a delivery that matters most.

This Christmas, your kindness would mean so much to a child like Yan. Donate today and your gift will be matched pound for pound, doubling your impact.

The next delivery starts with you

Every donation you make could help us to reach children with life-changing deliveries that keep them safe, healthy and learning.  

£70 could help deliver winter kits to families recovering from crisis, keeping them warm and safe.

£185 could help deliver learning kits full of school supplies to children in conflict, supporting their education.

£310 could help build a safe space, where children in crisis can play, learn and recover from trauma.

This Christmas, please help make the delivery that matters most for children. By donating today you could double your impact this Christmas.

Why a delivery matters

From Ukraine to Nepal and Somalia, children are being denied the safe stable childhoods they deserve. Education is disrupted by air-raids, homes washed away by floods, and childhoods lost to preventable disease and hunger.

With support from people like you, our team go to great lengths to keep children safe and learning in spite of these challenges. 

Education kits are delivered to children in schools and air-raid shelters, with high security monitoring and carefully planned routes managed by specialist supply-chain teams. Education officers work across classrooms and shelters, providing safe, positive developmental spaces alongside specialist psychosocial support.

1 in 3

children in Ukraine cannot attend school in person. And despite the challenges, our team deliver education kits to help them keep learning. 

1,133+

families in Nepal have received shelter kits and other essential supplies. With winter already here, your support will keep them safe and warm.

43,000

children in Somalia received their first vaccination. Our team travel for days to provide vaccines which save lives.

In the midst of conflict, this support gives children more than an education, it protects their wellbeing, restores a sense of normality and helps preserve the childhood they deserve. 

Please donate today and make your kindness go twice as far this Christmas.

This is how much your delivery matters to children

Sapana and Kala's story

When devastating floods tore through their community, cousins and best friends Sapana* and Kala* ran for their lives, separated from their families.  

“Sir tried to pull everyone uphill, but he could not save everyone. The flood took half of them.” – Sapana.  

Both girls lost their homes. Save the Children with help from people like you, provided shelter and supplies, and a safe space to play and recover.

Lopit's story

For several nights, Nakai* watched her baby Lopit* refuse food and water, burn with fever and struggle to breathe. He had pneumonia, malaria and severe malnutrition, while the nearest health centre was three days on foot.  

Thankfully and with support from people like you, our mobile clinic – supplied by charter planes – was just a 45-minute journey, and we gave Lopit life-saving antibiotics and therapeutic food when he arrived.

Said and Zakariya’s story

Brothers Said* and Zakariya* live nearly 200 miles from the nearest health centre in rural Somalia, where diseases like measles can be deadly.  

Every two weeks Save the Children health workers travel to remote communities – by ambulance, donkey and on foot – keeping vaccines at the right temperature. They vaccinate children and check for malnutrition, reaching families who might otherwise go untreated.
