Save the Children

OUR HUMANITARIAN WORK

In 2013 Save the Children responded to over 120 humanitarian crises around the world.

In any crisis, children are always the most vulnerable. We make sure that children affected by floods, famines, earthquakes and armed conflict get life-saving medical aid, shelter, food and water – fast. We safeguard children and help reunite separated families. And we help children recover from crises by providing emotional support and safe places to learn and play.

Save the Children comprises Save the Children International and 30 member organisations working to deliver change for children in 120 countries.
