Serious love in action.

The number of children experiencing the effects of war may have reached new highs, but so did your resolve.

With a record-breaking number of families displaced by war—especially in countries where we are deeply invested, like Myanmar—it would be easy to let the scale of people in need instill hopelessness and fatigue. But not for people like you.

Instead, you once again rolled up your sleeves with us, determined not to let conflict and oppression have the final say in the lives of thousands of children in the communities where you are present. Make no mistake—today, children are in school, well-fed, and in good health because you chose to respond with kindness and generosity. Helping kids live their lives to the fullest is what we continue to work toward and celebrate together as we see it become a reality.

As you watch the stories, see the numbers, and read the quotes from those touched by your love in action, we hope you feel the same joy we do in witnessing the tangible, meaningful impact you’ve made. We’re grateful that you continue to stand with us, doing whatever it takes to reach kids affected by conflict and oppression.
