13-year-old Ghinwa* and her family fled the war in Syria when she was 5, and they’ve lived in a refugee camp in Beirut ever since. But the economic crisis in Lebanon has sent food prices soaring beyond her family’s reach – especially after a stroke stopped her dad from working.
Hunger forced Ghinwa to stop attending school so that she can help earn money for her family to purchase essentials like food and medicine.
As you read this, there are millions more children like Ghinwa – growing up surrounded by hunger, war and other life-threatening hardships. That’s why we set an ambitious goal to raise $500,000 before Giving Tuesday is over tomorrow, and we’re offering champions for children like you exclusive early access to our 5x-match opportunity.
As soon as Ghinwa was connected to a Save the Children education center, she saw a way back to the life that hunger threatened to destroy. Before she came to the center, she couldn’t read or write – she had no dreams or hope for her future.
Now, she believes that anything is possible. As well as reading and writing, Ghinwa has learned about her rights and developed a passion for activism. She dreams of becoming a lawyer so she can spend her life helping refugee children – so they don’t have to go through what she did.
Ghinwa’s story wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of supporters like you giving what you can in moments like this, when every dollar will be 5X MATCHED. So please, with so many more children in crisis around the world, can we count on your help today?
Help protect children displaced by conflict and disaster
Help provide lifesaving vaccines and infant care

Thank you for your exceptional generosity,
