What my days look like caring for children in crisis

Watch how our emergency health units help children in remote regions of Kenya

Hi there – I’m Alice, a Clinical Manager at Save the Children’s Emergency Health Unit working in Turkana, Kenya, where over 80,000 children are affected by a drought crisis. Our main priority is to reach them with the support they need as quickly as possible. Malnutrition has made it hard for children to thrive, learn and enjoy their childhood. But with our help, children are returning to a healthy life. Our Operations Manager and I traveled to a rural community to respond to this crisis, working closely with staff from Save the Children’s Turkana Field Office, a local partner organization and Ministry of Health workers. With my Save the Children colleagues, I’ve produced a short diary about our Emergency Health Unit and the impact we’ve had on families in Kenya. You’ll get an inside look at the work supporters like you make possible for children.   🔒Unlock my diary by signing up for SMS to get exclusive access to the video.   In this diary, you’ll see your support in action – how we’re reaching newborns, pregnant mothers and families in remote communities. When emergencies strike, support from people like you helps us deliver lifesaving care in hard-to-reach places.  Whether it’s a disease outbreak, drought crisis or lack of food and safe water, our Emergency Health Unit puts children first, always and everywhere.  Friend, thank you for being a part of our community. I’m grateful to know there are compassionate people like you who are ready to invest in our efforts to keep kids surviving and thriving. This exclusive diary is for you — so you can get an inside look at the incredible impact you can make for children.   Warmly,  Alice Oyuko Clinical Manager, Emergency Health Unit      Privacy Policy | Contact | Unsubscribe   © 2026 Save the Children Federation, Inc. 501 Kings Highway East, Suite 400 Fairfield, CT 06825 1-800-728-3843 Photo: Sacha Meyers, Paul Wu/Save the Children
