Emergency Response
Going Further and Faster when Disaster Strikes
Amazon is a critical disaster relief partner, leveraging its expansive global network of Disaster Relief Hubs providing Save the Children with pre-positioned essential products like diapers, wipes and hygiene kits within 72 hours to support families facing global emergencies. Critical to this impact has been the generosity and expertise of Amazon’s vast employee and consumer base, whose support ensures that children stay and remain healthy during times of crisis.

Education
Making Learning Accessible
Amazon supports a variety of Save the Children educational programs aimed at providing access to digital skills, literacy, and psychosocial support. This includes a collaboration between the company’s philanthropic stem education program, Amazon Future Engineer, and Save the Children’s MakerLabs in Germany. In the US, Amazon/Brilliance Publishing is a supporter of Save the Children’s “Make Summer Fair” campaign where donations of hundreds of thousands of books provide continuity of learning in the summer months.
Logistics and Supply Chain
Going the Last Mile
Save the Children works in some of the most remote and hardest-to-reach areas around the globe. As an industry leader in logistics and last mile delivery, Amazon helps us solve operational challenges by providing logistics and supply chain support as well as surge warehousing capacity that ensures we can get the right support to the right place at the right time. We are also proud to have partnered with Amazon Logistics for Good to launch a suite of supply chain e-learning resources, available to the broader sector, on DisasterReady.org.
