The past year has brought extraordinary challenges for children. Sudden and sweeping cuts to U.S. foreign assistance disrupted hundreds of programs that millions of kids rely on for health care, education and protection.
Our resolve has been tested in ways we never imagined. Yet, in the face of crisis, Save the Children did what it has always done – we stood strong for children. We couldn’t have done it without you, our trusted partners.
Your generosity became a lifeline for the world’s most vulnerable children. In Afghanistan, you helped sustain vital health services in remote communities. In Somalia, you contributed to keeping health clinics open to provide lifesaving care. In Yemen, where half the children are malnourished, your support meant we could continue emergency obstetric care, vaccinations and treatment for acute malnutrition.
Amid heartbreaking loss, light still shone on progress and new opportunities to improve children’s lives. Bolivia became the 14th country in Latin America to ban child marriage after girls across the country and Save the Children banded together to criminalize the practice. Our teams and partners in rural America made sure kids had access to early education, an essential building block for a bright future.
We’re seizing this moment of seismic change to streamline operations, reform how we work and redouble our commitment to uphold every child’s right to grow up healthy, learning and safe.
