Charity donations to help in emergencies

Please consider giving to SOS Children to help current emergencies and to help us be there for children next time a crisis arises. SOS Children is a charity that has a well-rooted presence in countries where families need help and natural disasters are devastating. The best way to help us is to make a regular donation.

Because we are already present, caring for children, keeping families together and working with local authorities in these countries, our response to emergencies is generally rapid (sometimes we are working for weeks while others are still trying to import their vehicles through customs). Our effort is also generally well targeted using our local knowledge, and focused on our expertise. We are very often the charity chosen by local governments to look after all the orphaned and separated children after catastrophe. With local roots, we know ahead of time when the most urgent need is shelters, fruit fruit, water, sanitation or even baby food! We are appreciated because we do not leave on the next plane after journalists to head to the next news story. Our deep local knowledge also helps to protect against children trafficking after disasters from people we can tell are not genuine.

How can you help

By giving monthly, you can help SOS Children be there when we are next needed most.

Monthly donations give us flexibility to target resources towards greatest need at each moment and adapt to changing circumstances (and exchange rates).

Please give now, we really appreciate your support.
