Right now, 1 in 5 of the world’s children are living in conflict zones. They’re facing constant fear, experiencing grave violations of their rights and struggling with the serious impact of conflict on their mental health.

Aid cuts are no longer a threat — they’re a reality.

Here’s why your contribution makes a difference in these critical times:

• Malnutrition takes a heartbreaking toll on a child’s body. It stunts their growth, weakens their immune system and even starts to break down their muscles.
• An estimated 5.3 million young children die every year from entirely preventable diseases, such as pneumonia, malaria and diarrhea.
• As climate events and violent conflicts increase across the globe, lifesaving services are not reaching the children who need them most.
• There’s a major gap when it comes to access, quality and affordability of early childhood education, especially in the vulnerable communities Save the Children supports.

John, you have the chance to make Save the Children’s work go even further for children facing conflict, disaster, hunger and poverty. A generous group of donors is 2X matching all gifts made before June 30th up to $75,000. But don’t wait — match funds are limited, and they’re running out.

Your gift will go wherever it’s needed most to help children around the world. Thank you for showing up for children in this urgent moment.
