Children in Crisis
Our Children in Crisis Fund provides rapid support for children and their families caught in crises. As a Plan Rapid Responder, your donation ensures that immediate and life-saving funds are available and ready to be deployed immediately when disaster strikes.
From earthquakes, floods and cyclones to conflict and displacement, we aim to meet the needs of children and their families as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours. Your support will enable us to provide nutritious food, clean water, safe places for children to play and learn, and kits that include the essentials like nappies, sanitary pads and soap.
