Program Overview
Nobody knows when the next crisis will strike, but your support helps Save the Children aid in the critical first hours and days of an emergency when children need us most. When generous people like you make your 100% tax-deductible gift, children’s lives are saved and their futures are brighter.
When crisis strikes, and children, underprivileged and disabled are at their most vulnerable, Springboard Foundation is there. We are always among the first to respond, delivering emergency care and relief and staying as long as it takes to ensure children and families can recover and sustainably rebuild their lives.

Nutrition Programs Focus
Springboard Foundation’s Emergency Health and Nutrition programs focus on basic lifesaving maternal, newborn and child healthcare, communicable disease prevention and control, the Minimum Initial Service Package for reproductive health in crises (MISP), including adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), family planning, detection and treatment of acute malnutrition and breastfeeding promotion.
These program interventions are facilitated in close collaboration with national health authorities and through engagement with national and sub-national coordination mechanisms. In cases where local infrastructure and capacity are significantly diminished, Save the Children provides direct services as an interim measure until the transition of these services to local authorities is possible.
Program Benefits
Emergency Health and Nutrition programs, where appropriate and feasible, are integrated with Save the Children’s other priority sectors including Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Child Protection, Education and Food Security and Livelihoods. This integration enables a holistic approach to meeting the needs of children, underprivileged and disabled and their families in times of crisis.
