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.
Put a Stop to Funding Cuts
With less resources to tackle hunger, more kids will undoubtedly face starvation. Not to mention the millions of families who already rely on Food for Peace to survive. Please, tell Congress to protect this critical program… not undermine its impact.
Tell Congress to Protect Food for Peace – and secure brighter futures for children.
Kids’ lives and futures are on the line. Tell Congress to fund lifesaving support.
Our leaders can build a world where child refugees grow up healthy, educated and safe no matter what disaster they’re facing.
