Hurricane Maria punished Puerto Rico with a fury the island hadn’t experienced in almost 90 years. Even before the storm, Puerto Rico was an extremely difficult place to be a child, with some of the highest child poverty rates in the United States.
With your support, we continue to help girls and boys affected by Maria and address the challenges they faced before the hurricane – and we’ll stay close to them throughout the coming year. We’re partnering with local leaders, schools and organizations to strengthen child care, early childhood development and nutrition services. Meanwhile, our humanitarian teams responded swiftly in the Carolinas, the Florida panhandle and southwest Georgia following Hurricanes Florence and Michael. We will be there for children and families on the long road to recovery.
Knowing that recovery takes years, Save the Children will continue to partner with the most affected communities in Puerto Rico for years to come. Through your support, we can build back better. Thank you!
