about DONI

For more than 100 years, we have helped to ensure that the world's most vulnerable children survive, learn and are protected. Every year, we reach tens of millions of children in 116 countries through our work. Learn more about the work we do for and with children.

NO CHILD SHOULD DIE FROM PREVENTABLE CAUSES

Shocking numbers of children are dying from illnesses that are entirely preventable, most of them in the first years of life. Every year, 5 million children under the age of five die from preventable causes. Marginalised children are the most vulnerable as they lack access to quality healthcare, such as vaccines, medicines, or nutrients – all of which save lives. This is especially true in conflict and emergencies, or in poor and deprived areas, where the challenge of keeping children alive is heightened. Girls and women often lack access to care or information during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. They can also struggle to access health services or be denied an education that would protect them from unwanted pregnancies.

OUR PROGRAMMING

Every day, our teams are saving lives in hard-to-reach communities – whether in war zones or remote villages. We train frontline health workers in communities to diagnose and treat common childhood illnesses like pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and newborn sepsis, empowering them to provide services that are proven to reduce child deaths.

PROTECTING CHILDREN IN CONFLICT AND NATURAL DISASTERS

In a humanitarian emergency, we provide safe spaces for children so they can feel safe, play and learn. We help children that have been separated from their families, ensuring they are taken care of through safe, secure legal systems, and reunite them with their families, whenever possible.

OUR RESPONSE TO THE HUNGER CRISIS.

All the time: We are working with local communities, international, national and local organisations and governments to stamp out inequality and food insecurity through our policy and advocacy work. Last year alone we reached over 70 million people with hunger-related interventions, including 37 million children thanks to your support.

FEATURED CAUSE

Without a quality basic education, children are less likely to escape the cycle of poverty and may never have the opportunity to fulfill their potential.

GIVE EDUCATION

Millions of children are being robbed of an education simply because of who they are or where they live. Deprived of learning because they are caught up in emergencies, face extreme poverty, or are discriminated against because of their gender, disability or ethnicity. The world's most vulnerable and excluded children are missing out on education. Today, nearly 400 million children of primary school age cannot read or write More than half of all three to six year olds have no access to pre-primary education About 10 million refugee children risk having their learning interrupted after being forced to flee their homes 25 million children will never enrol in school – and two-thirds of them are girls.

HELP CHILDREN PROTECT THEIR FUTURES FROM HUNGER.

Hunger knows no borders, no boundaries and no limits. It's a force that drains a child's energy, silences their play, and turns their dreams to dust. They should be exploring with their friends or expanding their minds in class. Instead, too many are worrying about when their next meal will be. With our expertise and their resilience, we can beat hunger together. Let’s break the cycle and feed children’s futures.
