Children are some of the most vulnerable people on Earth. Across the world, millions are growing up without the basics every child needs.

  1. 400 MILLION children live in poverty.
  2. 1 in 6 child live in a conflict zone.
  3. 272 MILLION children are out of school.

Countless children don't have enough food, a safe home, access to education, or the emotional support each child needs.

For many, poverty, conflict, and displacement are not distant crises but daily realities, forcing children to carry burdens no child should ever bear.

Separated from their families, exposed to violence, and denied opportunities because of the situation they were born into, these children face challenges that shape their entire futures.

Yet with the right relief and care, these young can be given the chance to grow, dream, and build a better tomorrow - beyond poverty. That's where we come in. You can too.
