Donate today to help refugee children like Ella who need life-saving care

Six-year-old Ella hasn’t spoken since a bomb exploded outside her house. She’s so terrified she can’t speak. War, famine and disasters force families to leave their homes in the hope of finding safety. Often, they have only the clothes they are wearing. They arrive with nothing – not even the bare essentials needed for survival.

We urgently need your help to protect them. Food. Clean water. Shelter – you can help provide refugee children and their families with what they need to survive.
