Save the Children's Emergency Fund (CEF) Is a pot of flexible funding used by Save's humanitarian teams to respond and support children most in need when disaster strikes.

The Emergency Fund ensures Save the Children can be ready and respond within hours of an emergency,  as well as helping communities recover faster after the event.

So far in 2022, the Emergency Fund has reached over 27.3million children and families around the world. Save the Children were able to respond to emergencies in 29 countries, including in response to the war in Ukraine, devastating flooding in Pakistan, and the extensive hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa.

GSK and GSK employees generously contributed over £1million to the Save the Children Emergency Fund in 2022, which is just incredible!

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Save the Children have been supporting the most vulnerable children and families globally and across the UK, enabling them to stay safe, healthy and keep learning as the coronavirus crisis is hitting children hard – the most vulnerable children hardest of all. They are currently working in 114 countries, helping children who have been affected by COVID-19, while getting ready to respond in case things get worse.

With GSK support, Save the Children have been able to provide hygiene essentials, medical supplies, personal protective equipment (PPE) and information materials on hygiene for families and community health workers in countries such as Kenya and the Philippines.

GSK is also providing additional support for our partnership programmes as now, more than ever, our partnership is needed to make sure children have the chance to be safe, learn and grow up healthy and realise their full potential. Through our partnership COVID-19 Response Fund, we will ensure our current partnership programmes are fully equipped to tackle coronavirus and can support the communities we work with by continuing to provide potentially life-saving services.
