John, it's World Children’s Day – and today, we’re calling attention to the overwhelming need to protect every child’s right to a safe and hopeful future, no matter where they are or what they’re going through.

From severe hunger and poverty in rural America to violent wars in Gaza, Lebanon and Ukraine – millions of lives are at stake at this very moment. And with the climate crisis creating new emergencies and access to education slipping further out of reach for so many, there's never been a more urgent time to take action than right now.

That’s why today, we’re raising $75,000 for our urgent World Children’s Day goal – and we need your help to reach it before midn‌ight. So please, will you make an impact today with your immediate gift for the millions of children around the world facing hunger, poverty and disaster?

In 1919, our founder, Eglantyne Jebb, became the first to make the bold declaration that all children have rights. Since then, as the world’s leading organization for children, we’ve dedicated over 100 years to ensuring kids everywhere are healthy, educated and safe. 

But as conflicts continue to destroy towns and cities, climate crises intensify and hunger persists in poverty-stricken communities, Eglantyne’s vision is far from realized.

Hitting this critical World Children’s Day goal is crucial if we’re going to reach more children than ever before in the coming months. So please, don’t wait: Make a gift of $30 or more before our midnight deadline and help us secure the resources we need to help children live out the lives they deserve.

Thank you for showing up for children when they need it most.
