Humanitarian needs around the world are now at unprecedented levels due to disasters and protracted conflicts.

This year, the number of people needing humanitarian assistance has risen to more than 141 million. When disaster strikes, every minute counts. The faster the humanitarian response, the more lives are saved.

Deakin University and Save the Children's ground-breaking Centre for Humanitarian Leadership is transforming the way the world responds to humanitarian crises. Over 450 humanitarian workers from more than 70 countries have so far enrolled in the Centre’s innovative Humanitarian Leadership Programme, which is now globally-recognised as the best of its kind. The cost of undertaking this course is unfortunately a considerable barrier for many humanitarian workers.

By supporting Deakin’s Humanitarian Leadership Scholarship Fund, you can help ensure that well-prepared humanitarian leaders will be on the ground to provide timely and life-saving responses when and where a crisis strikes.

Your gift will have an impact far beyond the student in need who receives it and, will ultimately affect millions of lives around the world for years to come.
