SMASHING BOUNDARIES

By Sarah McDonnell | Challenge Events Executive, Save the Children UK

In 2023, we used cricket to change the game for girls in Nepal. It was just one of the ways our innovative work helped millions of children around the world this year – with your support.

A YEAR TO BE PROUD OF

The worst global food crisis in decades, skyrocketing prices, escalating conflicts and a deepening climate crisis - this has been an exceptionally tough year for children.

Problems on this scale demand new, innovative solutions – and that is what Save the Children has delivered in 2023.

We’ve worked with partners, local communities and the real experts – children – to break down the boundaries holding children back and find innovative solutions to the problems they face.

We’ve:

found ways to make sure children can keep learning from a quality education even in the midst of disasters and war
provided cash transfers for families facing extreme poverty, giving them the power to decide what their children most need and buy it, stimulating the local economy at the same time trained farmers how to grow drought-resilient crops so they can withstand the worst effects of climate change
given children the expert psychological support they need to begin to deal with their terrible experiences.
deployed our Emergency Health Unit, putting teams of doctors and nurses – equipped from a global network of supply hubs – at an injured child’s side
set up child-friendly spaces where children have the chance to play, learn and just be kids again
broken down cultural barriers so that children – and especially girls – can have a voice in their communities and be at the centre of everything we do
