Event Beneficiaries

Save the Children has worked in Japan since 1986 and is estimating that at least 100,000 children have been affected by the disasters. They are mobilizing and initiating responses that will address the immediate and longer-term needs of children and their families, and have set a funding goal of $20 million in new support for this work. Conditions facing children and families are so extreme that we are developing a three-year strategy—based on our initial on-scene assessments—to first help provide essential relief items and launch child protection activities, and then help restore children’s sense of security and normalcy and advocate for their inclusion in emergency preparedness planning.

Their humanitarian response teams in Sendai continue to assess children’s needs and initiate child protection work as conditions and movement in the areas surrounding the damaged nuclear power plants allow. They are coordinating activities with the Japanese Red Cross and several of their program partners; other regional Save the Children offices in Asia remain on alert to provide staff and materials.

Save the Children is also closely monitoring the atomic power emergency and is preparing contingency plans in case the situation worsens.
