Help Save Children in Latin America

Save the Children works in Latin America to provide for some of the world’s poorest children. With a population of 568 million, nearly 25% live on less than $2 a day. Save the Children works in these areas to help bring hope and possibilities into children’s lives, allowing them to thrive in the bright futures they all deserve.

But we can’t do any of this lifesaving work without your support.

Kevin (age 11) with two of his seven siblings. The nine children are being raised by a single mother, their father left. Kevin is no longer at school as his mother can’t afford the costs. He helps his mother when he can, picking tomatoes or cutting coffee if they can find work due to the coffee rust – a blight that is killing coffee plants. The younger siblings are losing weight; the youngest has severe diarrhea due to poor hygiene and no sanitation.
