Protect and provide for refugee children

Refugee children across the world urgently need your help.

From teddy bears to ticking bombs — young children’s lives are changed forever when conflict erupts. Children from Ukraine, Syria and other war-torn countries have been forced to leave everything behind.

Across the world, 82.4 million people have been forced to flee their homes, more than ever before.

Children’s lives change in an instant as they are forced to give up their childhoods and flee for their lives. This is not the future any child dreams of.

Your donations help us act fast when refugees' lives change in an instant.

We help rebuild lives

In the wake of a disaster, we stay to help rebuild the lives of children, families, and communities. We also help to build resilience so that if another disaster strikes, they are better able to cope.

Your support makes change happen

All the resources entrusted to us are effectively and efficiently invested in the lives and futures of children. We’re always working to keep our overhead low.

In 2022, we used 89% of our total operating expenses for programmes that benefit children, families, and communities in need, 3% was used for fundraising efforts and 8% for administration expenses.
