In the Amazon, water floods fields and destroys crops, leaving families with less food to eat. The water becomes muddy and contaminated, and many families only have that water for drinking or cooking. As a result, children face more illnesses and less access to nutritious food.
In 2025, Save the Children responded to the flood emergency in Loreto: 350 interculturally focused food kits and 350 safe drinking water kits. We also held community sessions to prevent violence and fostered safe spaces for children.
Today, more households have safe food and water and are better prepared for future emergencies. Floods can still occur. Protecting children is protecting the future.
