Emergency Response
Children's lives can change in an instant due to war, natural disasters, and humanitarian crises. Their vulnerability underscores the critical need for protection and support. The urgency is increasing; today, we face more than double the number of emergencies compared to a decade ago. Climate change is accelerating the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, leading to prolonged and devastating impacts on children and their families. As the needs grow, our response must rise to meet them.

When disaster strikes, thanks to your support, we are on the ground swiftly, providing essential aid. Our commitment extends beyond immediate relief; we stay to help rebuild the lives of children, their families, and their communities.
Within 72 hours of a disaster, we can deliver lifesaving supplies anywhere in the world—often even sooner. Your contributions enable us to act quickly and effectively, ensuring that children receive the urgent care they need when they need it most.
