John, 1 in every 10 children in South Sudan will die before their 5th birthday. This is unacceptable.

Nour* is a 15-year-old refugee in South Sudan who is unable to go to school while the war in Sudan rages on. She is the oldest of seven children, and two of her siblings have struggled to receive medical care for ongoing health issues. This is unacceptable.

In Sri Lanka, the economic crisis has made life worse for children like Heshani,* who was unable to go to school after a fuel shortage. With her family struggling to afford the basics, her parents often had to skip meals to ensure Heshani and her brother had enough to eat. This is unacceptable.

And in Gaza, the road to recovery is long for children like Rami,* who was severely injured along with his family when a bomb hit the house where they were staying. This is unacceptable.

But thanks to the support of champions for children like you, Save the Children is able to help children in the hardest-to-reach places get medical care, food and go to school. With so many crises threatening children right now, will you please rush your first gift of $30 or more right now and have it MATCHED* by a generous group of donors?

To truly ensure all children can grow up healthy, educated and safe, we must continue working to support those who need our help the most. That's why we're asking you to take advantage of this exclusive match offer:

Will you make a tax-deductible gift of $30 or more to help us meet our $350,000 goal and ensure we have the resources to keep showing up for children in 2025?
