The Children in Crisis Fund provides emergency, life-saving necessities like medicine, shelter, clothing, nutritious food and clean water as well as short- and long-term trauma-informed care and community support to help children and families rebuild.
Children suffer the most in emergencies-enduring extreme distress that leaves them vulnerable to anxiety, PTSD and other mental health challenges. These crises disrupt their education, increase their likelihood of never finishing school and expose them to life-threatening injuries.
Supporting Children in Crisis helps shield children from the dangers of natural disasters, armed conflict and other humanitarian crises by providing: - Emergency shelter and clothing - Nutritious meals and clean water - Trauma-informed mental health support - Life-saving medicine and health care - Child-friendly spaces for safe play and learning - Family-like care from trained, trauma-informed caregivers for children who have lost - or been separated from - their parents
When disasters strike, local SOS Children's Villages' emergency response teams are there, providing immediate support. With a "first in, last out" approach, we help children, families and communities rebuild sustainably, preventing crises that arise from leaving an emergency-affected area prematurely.
