Vulnerable Children
NEED You MORE THAN EVER

We work in the hardest-to-reach places, where it’s toughest to be a child.

When you give to Save the Children, 86% of every dollar goes straight to our mission to provide lifesaving relief to children.

$50 can provide enough food to keep 3 children from going hungry for a month
$150 can wrap warm, cozy blankets around 30 children affected by conflict
$300 can provide 150 face masks to refugee health workers on the front lines

With your support, we can continue our work to keep children in the U.S. and around the world healthy, educated and safe.

Join us to learn how you can help make change for children.
