Alevtyna*, 35, lives with her family in Dnipro region — an area close to the frontline that has also become home to many internally displaced families. She and her husband are raising three children: Anton*, 12, Mykhailo*, 10 and Anna*, 3, and run a small household with livestock, including a bull, goats, rabbits, ducks, and chickens. The family relies mainly on the husband’s income, social assistance, and child benefits. Winters are especially difficult, as illnesses and rising costs often stretch the family’s limited resources. Farming is an important part of their survival, but last year the harvest failed, adding to their challenges. With support from Save the Children, Alevtyna* received assistance to strengthen their household, including cash support and trainings. The family used the cash to buy a new motor for their agricultural machinery, buy fuel and seeds. Through training, Alevtyna* also gained practical knowledge on growing vegetables and improving soil quality — skills that help the family better sustain themselves despite the ongoing war.

World Prematurity Day: Ensuring every mother is healthy and every baby is born on time in Mali
Have you ever seen a just-born premature baby? Don’t worry, most people haven’t. I can tell you they’re generally no bigger than the size of a tissue box, limbs included. Everything you might already think is small and precious about a full-term baby, is even smaller, more fragile and more frightening to touch in a premature baby. And their risk for infection, disease, disability and complications in development are much higher. The truth is, premature births are largely preventable if we…

Canada has a duty to uphold the rights of children and suspend the 'Canada-US Safe Third Country Agreement
In the past few weeks, the news has been full of stories of children being detained and separated from their parents at the US border. We have seen hundreds of messages from Americans urging Canadians to not react, or at least to not over-react, to the erratic pronouncements and actions of their President. As John McKay of Colorado put it, “For now, hang in there, try to ignore him, and do not make direct eye contact!” It is good advice. Up to a point.
Education Unlocks the Chains of Bonded Labour
Brick factories are not an ideal place for children to survive, learn or be protected. Yet in Nepal, seeing unpaid child labourers in brick factories is common practice. These children serve as an extension to their parent’s labour…which leaves me thinking, are children even considered to be people in this context?
