Anton*, 12 and Anna*, 10 are having lunch in Dnipro region, Ukraine

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.

Navid from ModernAdvisor Shares his Story of Getting Involved with Save the Children

I was born during the Iran-Iraq war (which lasted from 1980 -1988) in Shiraz, Iran. Shiraz, a large city situated in the Southwest of Iran was frequently targeted by Iraqi missile and air strikes during the many years of war. Our home was not far from a manufacturing centre for electronics and communication equipment, and the community was frequently at risk from attacks directed there. We lived with a constant fear and anxiety that, as a child not yet even in school, I could sense but not…

International Day of the Girl Child and SDG's October 2016

Today is the International Day of the Girl Child. In September of 2015, the United Nations General Assembly voted to adopt Sustainable Development Goals. For the first time World Leaders together committed to reverse the long-standing neglect of the poorest and most excluded people. They pledged that in this next era of global development, no one will be left behind. Girls must be at the heart of that pledge, not only because excluded girls are often among the poorest and most marginalised in…

Save the Children's Efforts to Reach Every Last Girl and Every Last Child

Today is International Day of the Girl Child, and I find myself remembering a young girl I met when I visited the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya a few years ago. Her family had come to the camp to escape the conflict and hunger in Somalia. Life in refugee camps is difficult, particularly for girls who are often at risk of sexual abuse and exploitation. This particular girl’s family had decided that the best way to protect her was to arrange for her to be married. She couldn’t have been more than…

Our 30-Day Ask: No Refugee Child Out Of School For More Than a Month

In human history, no international human rights treaty has been as widely ratified as the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). And in the CRC, as it is commonly known, the right of every child to education and vocational training is fundamental. But even though education is a fundamental right, every child is not in school or training today. Millions of girls and boys are outside of school and the single biggest group of children being denied education are refugee children. As an…

Will we Learn from our Mistakes and Respond in Time to Ethiopia's Drought?

I have just returned from an overwhelming trip to Ethiopia visiting Save the Children projects in the Sitti Zone (the northeast region of the country) and witnessing the extreme draught in these pastoralist areas of the country. While there, I saw communities struggling with a severe lack of food and water, experiencing the loss of their main livelihoods both in livestock and crops. I saw children impacted by malnutrition and the illnesses associated with a lack of food and water. The children…
