Emergencies

As a global organisation, a big part of what Save the Children does is focused on emergency support. We have global expertise and are well-equipped to help during an emergency - often because we are so well-established in many countries around the world.

When large-scale disasters strike around the world, we raise money to help our colleagues on the ground, who race against the clock to save, support and protect children facing extreme adversity. Our fundraising appeals make a huge difference to children’s lives and we work hard to make sure that every donation dollar counts.

Thanks to our supporters, recent emergencies we raised funds for include:

East Africa drought

Christchurch earthquake

Japan earthquake

Haiti earthquake

Pakistan flooding

Orissa (India) flooding

South-East Asia flooding

Ivory Coast conflict
