A child in an emergency needs your help now more than ever!

Feed and protect a child now

“You're safe now.”

A child living through a humanitarian crisis needs to hear these words.  

Children suffer the most in emergencies. They endure extreme mental and physical distress—like anxiety, PTSD, disrupted education and life-threatening hunger and malnutrition. 

They lose everything—their belongings, their homes, their peace… and even their families. 

As a monthly emergency donor, you can turn hunger into hope for a child living in crisis.  ​

Your compassionate monthly support helps shield children from the dangers of natural disasters, armed conflict and humanitarian crises like famine—delivering life-saving food and other aid in the hardest to reach places when and where children need us most.  

Every child deserves a safe, loving, healthy, educated and fed childhood. Become an SOS emergency monthly donor today and save the children in emergencies by providing everything they need—like emergency nutrition—to survive a crisis and thrive in the future!  

Shield a child in crisis

“Every day I had to wake up early to stand in a long line to fill up water before it ran out. At night, my brothers and I were very scared [due to] the constant bombing and lack of electricity. Now, I’m at the SOS Children’s Villages camp, and things are different. I get up early, have breakfast, play with friends, and later return to the caravans for dinner, then sleep in peace.” 

– Adel*, SOS participant in Gaza

We are the only organization who understand the unique complexities and needs of children without or separated from their parents, and we are equipped to provide quality care so children can thrive—no matter the state of the world they live in.

“I didn’t expect you to come back for [us]. No one ever came back for me.”
