Perhaps one of the most incredible things about the public response to the tsunami last December was the number of children who acted to help other children in need.

Once again, our children are faced with painful images of children in emergencies – the earthquake in South Asia, the Gulf Coast hurricanes and the crisis in Central America brought on by Hurricane Stan. Your child may have already asked how he or she can help these children, too. Or you may want to encourage their compassion for children who are affected by disease, poverty, or who don't have access to education, as they do. Your family's donation will help us support all of our programs in over 39 countries around the world, and here in the United States.

Whether saving their own money or raising funds to help children in need, Save the Children’s Moneyboxes are designed to help create and reinforce good financial and philanthropic practices. The Moneybox is composed of three banks – one bank for spending, one for saving, and one for sharing. The guidebook will provide information and online resources to help you teach your child the value of saving and sharing.
