PARTNER WITH US

Save the Children has decades of experience working alongside governments, communities and partners to achieve measurable impact.  

For more than 100 years, we have worked at the intersection of humanitarian response and long-term programmes in nutrition, healthcare, water and sanitation, child protection, education and community support across every stage of crisis and recovery.  

Each year, we reach millions of children with life-saving and life-changing programmes, helping drive global progress in the prevention and treatment of malnutrition. 

• We operate nutrition programmes in 50+ countries and in 2022-24, we reached 43.5 million children through integrated health and nutrition solutions.
• We are recognised as a global technical leader in humanitarian nutrition. We co-lead the Global Nutrition Cluster Programme Team, are a major UNICEF implementation partner, and have helped shape global guidance on infant feeding in emergencies, community-based malnutrition treatment and care for nutritionally at-risk infants under six months.    
• We are also a leading partner in major global alliances, including the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation’s One Childhood, One Chance Alliance—uniting Save the Children, Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, ALIMA, Action Against Hunger UK, the Gates Foundation, ELMA Philanthropies, and UNICEF to expand prevention and treatment for millions of children in the world’s most fragile settings. 

We already have proven, evidence-backed solutions that can rapidly reduce child mortality at scale. But malnutrition remains one of the leading drivers of child mortality worldwide. More than 35 million children under five are acutely malnourished in food‑crisis countries – many living their entire childhoods without enough food. When children don’t have enough nutritious food during their childhood, the damage lasts a lifetime, permanently affecting their learning, health and future quality of life.    

The scale and drivers of this crisis are intensifying. Conflict is forcing families from their homes, destroying farmland and cutting off access to food. Climate change, intensified this year by El Niño, is fuelling floods, droughts and extreme weather that devastate crops and livelihoods. At the same time, economic shocks and conflict in the Middle East are driving food prices beyond what families can afford.

Famine has already been detected in Sudan, and people in Gaza, South Sudan, Haiti and Mali face extreme hunger and risk of death in the coming months unless there is urgent action. Meanwhile, the largest reductions in foreign aid in decades have left millions of children without critical support.
