| This season reminds us of joy and togetherness. Yet millions of families face hardship every day. In places like Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza and even here at home in the United States, parents strive to maintain their livelihood and to protect their children from the devastating effects of poverty. They dream of health, safety and a bright future for their children. With the generosity of supporters like you, we’re delivering emergency relief, distributing lifesaving care and creating new opportunities for parents and children worldwide – nutritious food, safe water, health care, education and safe spaces for children to learn and play. Friend, in these difficult and uncertain times, your gift donation can give parents and caregivers the best gift of all: support for their children so they can grow up safe, healthy and with limitless opportunities. Browse our gift guide to make a donation that can help deliver nutrition, education and protection for children. |
Your support can make a difference for mothers like Faisa* in Somalia. In a region affected by drought, water shortages and expensive supplies, seven-month-old Ikran* developed malnutrition and became ill with a fever and chest infection. Nearby local health facilities were unable to cure her. Faisa felt helpless – until she arrived at a Save the Children health center.

| "If the services weren't free, we couldn't afford it. We can take the child to the center but we can't afford to pay for the services if we don't have money." — Faisa, mother of seven. |
Our Save the Children center treated Ikran’s chest infection and helped her recover from malnutrition with antibiotics. After U.S. funding cuts made packaged therapeutic milk unavailable, your support helped ensure we could still be there for Ikran. “After I admitted her and she recovered, I felt happy and got excited. You know when she is healthy because now she is playful, hangs around, laughs,” says Faisa. Friend, with your gift donation today, we can help more parents and caregivers like Faisa see their children recover from malnutrition, grow healthy and play with a smile on their face. Please make a holiday gift donation! With each gift donation, you can send a special greeting card to a loved one at no cost! Together, we can give parents and caregivers the support they need, so their children can thrive. |
Thank you,
Save the Children
