Emergencies
More than 60 million children are caught up in emergencies every year. We respond quickly to meet their immediate needs
Our latest emergency responses:
Earthquakes in Solomon Islands
The food crisis in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya
When a disaster strikes, children are most vulnerable. In an instant they may lose their home, their community, their security and everything they have. They face threats from violence, disease, malnutrition, trauma and lack of shelter, water, food and education.
We save and transform 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.
