Conflict and climate disasters have forced more children from their homes than any other time since the beginning of the century, leaving millions in need of protection and essential services.
The Children’s Emergency Fund is Save the Children's most valuable resource when it comes to preparing, launching and scaling humanitarian assistance. It is the world's largest independent, nonprofit humanitarian fund, reaching over 25 million people last year alone.
The Fund allows us to pre-position resources before emergencies happen, ensuring that we can prepare for and deliver immediate, lifesaving humanitarian aid for children and communities as soon as a crisis hits.
So far this year, the Fund has provided assistance to over 5.4 million people, including 3.3 million children across 52 countries, allocating $27.7 million in flexible funding to meet humanitarian needs.
The Fund has enabled us to help families fleeing the conflict in Sudan, deliver lifesaving healthcare in Gaza, respond to the devastating floods in Afghanistan and so many other emergencies. Notably, we strengthened our commitment to local and national actors, allocating more than $2.3 million to 28 local partners so far this year.
Together, we’re ensuring no child is left behind, reaching the most vulnerable whenever and wherever they need us.
