Learn more about the countries we work in10 million children die every year before reaching their fifth birthday. That’s appalling. One in three children lives in severe poverty in the UK. We think that’s unacceptable. We’re working flat out to change this.
We focus on key issues in the development and well-being of children and their families: health, protection, rights and economic justice, education, and freedom from hunger.
In emergencies children are the first to suffer. And we’re first on the ground delivering life-saving relief. We stay when the cameras have gone, rebuilding shattered communities.
We work in 52 countries around the world, creating lasting improvements.
And we campaign for changes to unfair legislation. We lobby governments to improve children’s lives, and we rally people into action to campaign along with us. With your help, we can save children’s lives.
