The International Save the Children Alliance is deeply concerned about the recent Asia monsoon flooding across wide areas of India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan.

At least 40 million people have been displaced by the floodwaters. Families have lost homes, livestock, crops, livelihoods and food supplies, making day-to-day life a struggle and putting tens of thousands of children at risk. Aid agencies report that stagnant waters and food shortages are contributing to outbreaks of disease.

Save the Children and its partners are already responding in these countries and plan to reach more than 132,000 families with critical supplies and provide ongoing support in the areas of health, education, child protection, livelihoods, and water and sanitation as the population works toward recovery.

To do this we need your help.

Save the Children is urgently seeking to raise US $6.1million in order to rapidly scale up our emergency response.
