In conflict and disaster, children suffer first and suffer most. During emergencies and humanitarian contexts, children are especially vulnerable to disease, malnutrition, and violence. Children living in conflict areas are worst off – they are more likely to be living in extreme poverty, for instance, or not enrolled in primary school.

Our humanitarian investing focuses on building resilience and self-reliance across all sectors – health, nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), child protection, and education – as part of any humanitarian response.
