Our Key Issues
Children in Crisis
When crisis strikes, SCAN speaks up.
Our Mission
We champion the rights of the world’s 2.3 billion children.
Surviving is just the beginning for at-risk kids. In the face of ever-growing humanitarian need, SCAN is urging Congress to fund urgent and long-term support for struggling families and communities — advocating for programs that keep children healthy, learning and safe from harm.
Help Children Survive Hunger
Programs like WIC and Food for Peace help families put nutritious meals on the table across the globe. But current budget proposals would cut their funding. Tell Congress to protect funding for programs that keep kids fed!
Malnutrition is one of the most dangerous threats to child survival. Tell Congress: Step up to protect kids from malnutrition!
Childhood immunizations save 4 million lives every year. Our nation can stop deadly outbreaks and save children’s lives. Please urge Congress to deliver lifesaving vaccines!
Ebola is spreading rapidly across the Democratic Republic of Congo. Without urgent support, more kids will suffer severe illness, trauma, exploitation and even death. Urge Congress to step up and ensure families survive.
“Meeting with policymakers makes me feel like the voice of my community has been heard. I’m already imagining children going to school and getting access to healthcare services.”
– Kubra, youth activist from Nigeria
