For children in Nepal, every hour matters. Save the Children teams are on the ground as one of the first organisations to respond to the floods. We're providing water, blankets, & other items & will be there in the weeks and months ahead. Thank you for supporting our work.
Our founder Eglantyne Jebb's 150th birthday today. She was an amazing women who was brave, visionary, and an incredibly modern thinker for her time. Her quotes from the 1920s are just as relevant today sadly.

New data shows over 3,500 children – equivalent to 177 classrooms - killed or injured in the Ukraine war in the past four years with numbers rising this year. This war and the impact on children cannot be overlooked savethechildren.net/news/ove…
Delighted to be moderating at the 2026 Engaging Digital Communications Conference in London today. Thinking about shifting to a new emerging digital platform? Seeking new or better audience engagement? Some good discussions on what can - and doesn’t - work for comms & media teams

Final day in #Southsudan after visiting Bor & Maban with a press conference highlighting the devastating impact of aid cuts on children. Our country director @chrisnyamandi, Save the Children Canada & Switzerland CEOs @DGlenwright & @SaveCEO_CH available for interviews.
Devastating that 100 children now confirmed to have died of starvation in #Gaza. The true number is likely far higher. Access for aid is desperately needed - and now.
GAZA: “What kind of a world have we built to let at least 100 children be starved to death while the food, water and medical supplies to save them wait just miles away at a border crossing?" @AhmadAlhendawi @save_children
