Join with Save the Children to help support South Sudanese children receive treatment for cholera
What’s happening?
Save the Children and working to save children at the Cholera Treatment Centre in Mingkamen Camp, South Sudan. Save the Children’s Cholera Treatment Centre is an orderly series of large tents in the middle of Mingkaman Camp, which is currently home to about 50,000 people. Many families in the camps fled from the nearby town of Bor when fighting broke out in 2013. Save the Children’s Emergency Health Unit is there to give healthcare – and hope – to the thousands of people living in the camps surrounding the centre. The Emergency Health Unit includes teams of specialist staff with the specific expertise and capabilities to deal with a whole range of emergencies.
Save the Children’s efforts
Save the Children supports children in South Sudan with healthcare, nutrition, water and sanitation. They also have education and child protection programs to give them a sense of normalcy and let them be children as the fighting around them continues.
How you can help
You can help save children in South Sudan by joining with Save the Children and donating to their Current Emergencies appeal.

Join with World Animal Protection to help provide emergency nutrition packs to animals in Mongolia
What’s happening?
Right now, animals in Mongolia are starving and freezing to death. These are the deadly consequences of Mongolia’s ‘dzud’; a natural disaster that occurs when a harsh winter follows an extreme summer drought. Temperatures reach as low as -40c at night, and the grass they need to eat can’t grow properly during these severe conditions. Animal owners are still recovering from the devastating 2016 dzud, making it harder to feed and keep their animals warm as they are now hit with yet another.
World Animal Protection’s efforts
World Animal Protection are providing emergency nutrition relief packs to 1,740 households in six provinces. Each pack helps sheep, goats, cattle and horses, and includes 10 kg of milk powder, 1 litre of fish oil, 3 kg of vitamin supplement and 8 kg of mineral blocks. They will be distributing these vital nutrition packs in parallel with the Mongolian Red Cross with the financial support of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)—the world’s largest humanitarian organisation — and USAID.
How you can help
You can help support this project to give aid to millions of affected animals in disaster zones like Mongolia. Help protect as many animals as we can and give local communities their best chance of a quick recovery.

Join with Unicef to help get vaccines to children in need
What’s happening?
UNICEF believes no child should die of a preventable disease. That’s why they provide vaccines for 45% of the world’s children. Together with their partners, they support vaccination programmes in over 95 countries. It’s a huge job that’s only possible through the sheer determination of thousands of volunteers and health professionals.
Many hospitals and clinics in Yemen have been bombed or abandoned through war, creating the perfect environment to spread disease. It’s estimated one child dies every ten minutes from a preventable disease.
Unicef’s efforts
UNICEF and their partners have responded with nationwide door-to-door campaigns that will vaccinate up to 5 million children against polio. Mobile health teams are reaching children wherever they are, including in places where other health services have been cut off by the fighting.
Even when there’s not an emergency, networks of UNICEF-sponsored health workers help vaccinate children who aren’t being reached. Where poverty, disadvantage and distance break down access to health services, these volunteers and staff bridge the gap. Equipping locals to vaccinate children is a sustainable, long-term strategy that benefits and empowers communities.
How you can help
Nearly a third of the 27 million babies born in India every year are not fully vaccinated during their critical first year of life. This leaves them vulnerable to disease and leaves health workers trying to catch up. You can support Unicef’s life-saving work with a UNICEF Mother’s Day Vaccine Pack.

Join with Save the Children to help save children in the Syrian Crisis
What’s happening?
The situation for Syria’s children is critical. Amena* and her family were recently saved from the Mediterranean Sea, but Amena needed urgent medical care. (*name changed to protect identity) They’ve since found asylum in the Netherlands. Save the Children’s video follows Mutasem, the cultural mediator on board the Search and Rescue boat, as he revisits the family and reflects on his personal connection to the family’s journey.
Watch the video here: https://www.savethechildren.org.au/about-us/media-and-publications/latest-news/years/found-rescued-saved
Save the Children’s efforts
You have seen the horrific scenes from Idlib showing the violence Syrian children have been living through. They are hungry, thirsty and scared. Right now, hundreds of thousands of children and families in Syria are struggling to survive without food, medicine and clean water. Lives will be lost if we do not take urgent action.
Save the Children is on the ground in Syria and throughout the region. They are providing children and their families with life-saving assistance such as emergency care, shelters, protection, healthcare, clean water and warm clothes.
How you can help
Join with Save the Children to help stop Syrian children becoming a lost generation.
