Children in the world's most dangerous places urgently need your help.

<br>Children in the world's most dangerous places urgently need your help.

Today kids are fleeing war zones in places like Ukraine, facing starvation in parts of Africa and Afghanistan, and growing up in refugee camps.

These kids are just like the kids in your neighbourhood. But they are scared, traumatised and facing dangers like hunger, child marriage and trafficking.
You can help them to survive, recover and build a future.

Today you can provide help that includes life-saving water, food, medicine, shelter, protection and more.

You can help children who have lost everything to build a future.
