Our team helps communities prepare and protect the most vulnerable among us during disaster – children. We help generate child-focused emergency plans and provide emergency training and resources in advance, helping keep kids safe.
Evacuation shelters can be scary places for kids, which is why we offer our disaster-tested child-friendly spaces, which provide safe and protective play areas for children, and respite for parents so they can start their own recovery process.
Our innovative U.S. education programs provide early learners with unique opportunities, including Early Steps, Early Head Start and Head Start. Globally, we ensure children develop foundational skills in the early years, learn to read by third grade and that no child’s learning stops because they are caught up in crisis.
Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we help the nation’s most vulnerable children become ready for kindergarten – and excel by third grade – so they can succeed in school and in life.
