The Family Frontline Fund
This fund is dedicated to getting emergency aid and funds directly to communities that are impacted by sudden disasters. Donate today.
In recent weeks, two members of the Family for Every Child network have found themselves responding to devastating emergencies.
In Nepal, catastrophic, fatal flooding has caused devastating loss of life and displaced families, destroyed homes and schools, and left thousands of children at heightened risk of separation, exploitation and trafficking. Our member Voice of Children is working to identify and protect children who have been separated from their families, provide first aid psychosocial support, and help ensure children can be safely reunited with those who love and care for them.
Meanwhile, in Colombia, a powerful earthquake has caused widespread damage across Pereira and the surrounding region. Here, our member organisation Taller de Vida is responding to the immediate needs of affected families, providing psychosocial support, safe spaces for children, humanitarian assistance and protection for those most at risk.
These emergencies have struck different communities and are in different parts of the globe. However, they demonstrate two really important realities:
- Disasters are only going to increase with the impacts of climate change, and children will be most at risk in the aftermath
- When disaster strikes, the people best placed to respond are often already there, like the locally-led civil society organisations in our network
Local organisations know their communities, and understand the long term risks children and families face. They have trusted relationships already, and know what kind of aid and support is needed.
This is why Family for Every Child set up the Frontline Fund
The Frontline Fund means we can channel urgent funding directly to our member organisations, responding to crises in their own communities. This way, support can reach children and families faster, while strengthening local organisations to lead the response themselves.
It’s an approach to emergency funding that will become increasingly important. We need your support.
As the impacts of climate change become more severe, communities around the world are facing more frequent and devastating floods, storms, droughts and other climate-related emergencies. For many children, the consequences will put their lives at risk in the long term, disrupting families, education, safety and wellbeing and increasing the risk of exploitation, violence and separation.
Help us weave a safety net, so we can continue to support our members as soon as they are faced with an emergency. Taller de Vida and Voice of Children currently need all of the urgent support that they can possibly get.

The Importance of Local Leadership in Crises
19th of August 2026 is World Humanitarian Day: a chance to reflect on the importance of local leadership, and why support at the community level matters so much when it comes to delivering aid urgently and efficiently.
About Family For Every Child
As a growing network of close to 60 local organisations in over 40 countries, we have the global connections to make an urgent response happen. We have intimate knowledge of communities in which we operate and can send funds directly to the communities who need the support most.
Our point of difference
We DON’T waste valuable time or donor’s funds on taking our team to a location – our member organisations of local experts are already there now. The funds from our giving community go directly to established members, and children and families who need support most.
It’s one of the most effective and tailored ways to respond to humanitarian crises and our most efficient way of fixing funding gaps.
