John, for children living through the worst of the climate crisis, every day can be a struggle.
Pakistan is extremely susceptible to climate disasters, driven by increased exposure to flooding, cyclones and drought. And recently, the country has experienced some of the worst flooding in decades – impacting 11 million children. This devastating loss of life, displacement and destruction has only been compounded by continuing political unrest, violence and economic stagnation.
That’s why our supporters are so critical in fueling our efforts to make childhood fair for children living through extreme weather events, poverty, violence and other hardships.
Eight-year-old Ahmed* is one of many children the recent flooding has impacted. When his community in Pakistan flooded, he nearly lost his life when a wall fell on him. It was the critical medical treatment from Save the Children’s local Basic Health Unit that ultimately saved Ahmed’s life. After his medical treatment, Ahmed was also able to attend a temporary learning center and receive learning materials with Save the Children’s support.
For millions of children like Ahmed who face war, hunger and other crises, Save the Children provides essential supplies, health care and psychosocial services thanks to our generous supporters.
