In times of crisis, when children are at their most vulnerable, Save the Children is there. We are always among the first organisations to deliver life-saving support for children and their families. 

Save the Children Hong Kong’s Children’s Emergency Fund provided vital funding to a range of large-scale international emergencies, including lack of quality healthcare in the conflict of Sudan. In addition, Save the Children Hong Kong secured grants from the Disaster Relief Fund of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to assist children and their families impacted by natural disasters in Türkiye and Pakistan by distributing kits with daily necessities, such as basic hygiene, household and educational supplies.
