Christian Aid - UK charity fighting global poverty - Christian Aid

Save the Children is the world’s first and leading independent children’s organisation that is transforming lives and the future we share. The founder, Eglantyne Jebb, was the first person to articulate that children are people, not the possessions of adults, and therefore deserve to have their own fundamental rights. Volunteers go to remote corners, villages, and cities where it's really tough to be a child. They ask children, their families, and communities what children need to be healthy, safe, and learning. They listen to their experiences, insights, and ideas. In times of crisis, they are always among the first organisations to deliver life-saving support for children and their families. They partner with local organisations wherever possible to ensure their responses are locally driven, allowing them to build trust and gain access to hard to reach communities.

Charity stand side by side with children in the world's toughest places.Together, charity work hand in hand to adapt and create new solutions for children facing crisis, now and in the future.

WaterAid was founded in 1981 by several UK water companies who realised that millions of people around the world had no access to safe drinking water. They wanted to help change that. Since then, WaterAid has grown and now operates in more than 30 countries.

The people who benefit the most from this charity are those living in rural areas where clean water and sanitation are not available. WaterAid helps build wells, install toilets, and teach hygiene practices to prevent the spread of diseases.

The charity gets its money mainly through donations from individuals, schools, companies, and governments. They also run fundraising events like walks, school challenges, and charity concerts.

We can help by raising awareness, organising a fundraiser at school, or even donating directly through their website. Volunteering or sharing their work on social media is also a great way to get involved and make a difference. https://www.wateraid.org/uk
