Protect the magic for children this Christmas

When they’re safe, well and happy, children see the wonder in everything. Their spirit and imagination are what makes Christmas magical.

But right now many children are simply too hungry or too ill to see the wonder in the world.

By donating to Save the Children, you can help kids get the nutritious food they need to fuel their imaginations.

Protect the magic for children everywhere this Christmas.

From Sheffield to Peru, your support makes a difference

Lexi-Mae, aged 5, playing with bubbles outside her home in Sheffield.

Bubbly Lexi-Mae

Lexi-Mae is a bright, chatty five-year-old who lives in a deprived area of Sheffield with her mum, Georgia.

When lockdown hit, the family were struggling to make ends meet. Thanks to donations from our supporters we were able to help out with emergency food vouchers and a learning pack to make sure Lexi-Mae could grow, flourish and see the everyday wonder of the world.

“If I'd not received the grant I'd probably be in a bit more of a panic. I'd be overthinking everything and thinking, "How am I going to cope" and I'd definitely be cutting down more on food.” - Georgia

With money worries eased, Georgia now has more time to nurture Lexi-Mae’s incredible imagination!

“She can talk forever. I think that's the thing that everyone likes about her.”

With your support we can make sure more children are able to see the magic this Christmas.

Sparkling Alix

Five-year-old Alix won't stop asking questions. When she's not asking about the Queen, she's using her very vivid imagination to see the wonder in the world!

Alix and her family were forced to leave their home in Venezuela because of the worsening social and economic crisis in their country. They've been trying to rebuild their lives in Peru but are struggling to make ends meet.

"The best thing anyone did was buy me an ice cream - my grandma did that.”

We are providing the family with cash payments to try and make their lives a bit easier. The payments are helping the family to get food so Alix and her siblings don't go hungry.

The devastating crisis in Venezuela may have forced Alix from her home. But her resilience and imagination shines through and it's thanks to support from people like you.

With your support we can make sure more children are able to see the magic this Christmas.
