Emergencies

(Copyright: International Save the Children Alliance)

 

Save the Children leads the way in providing fast relief to hundreds of thousands of children and their families affected by natural disasters and other forms of emergencies around the world. 

We were among the first on the ground when disaster struck in countries such as Indonesia, Solomon Islands, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

For decades we have saved and transformed children’s lives by protecting children, setting up medical centres, reuniting families and rebuilding schools.

We are often in regions long before crises emerge, and remain there long-term to ensure children recover and rebuild their lives.
