Millions of children never see inside a classroom. Others drop out due to overcrowded classes, conflict, or because they're a girl.

In the UK, the poorest children do less well at school than wealthier classmates - and low literacy is linked to low pay and unemployment.
But education offers hope to kids whose worlds have turned upside down.

We're working to improve early years learning and keep childcare costs on the political agenda.

We ensure children in humanitarian crises learn and put children's rights at the heart of all we do. Visit our Education page to find out more

Hunger leaves children vulnerable to infection, disease and death - nearly 1/4 worldwide suffer permanent damage due to poor nutrition.

Poverty and rising prices mean many families can't afford food while climate change threatens more droughts and food crises.

But our hunger and nutrition programmes help millions every year.

Our teams provide counselling, breastfeeding support, malnutrition screening, vitamin supplements and cash transfers.
We're pioneering new methods of predicting food crises so governments can act sooner. Visit our Hunger page to learn more

Since 1990, child mortality has almost halved. But there's a danger we're leaving kids behind – because of poverty, ethnicity or gender.

5.9m children still die annually, many from preventable causes like diarrhoea and pneumonia.

Malnutrition remains challenging and newborn death rates must fall.

We're determined to change this. We're pressuring governments and working with global partners to improve health for millions.

Every day, our health teams are saving lives in hard-to-reach communities around the world. Visit our Health page to find out more
