Every day, conflict and persecution force nearly 34,000 people – 24 people per minute – to flee their homes in search of safety. The world is currently experiencing the highest levels of displacement on record: over 21 million refugees, nearly half of whom are children under age 18. Save the Children is there for displaced children wherever their journey takes them: from conflict zones, through transit countries to refugee camps.
Aboard their search-and-rescue vessel in the Mediterranean Sea, a blanket can warm and nurture a baby rescued from icy water. Art materials and musical instruments can help boys and girls in their child-friendly spaces to process and heal from horrifying experiences. And for a mother who has lost everything, Save the Children’s refugee basics bag can restore dignity and hope in a time of crisis.
Save the Children is dedicated to using your donation to give every child the best chance for success. Each gift on this giving page is representative of resources, services or support for programs provided across Save the Children’s worldwide movement and may change due to environmental, programmatic and economic considerations. Your donations will be used to provide assistance where it is needed most within that program area or to address similar need.
