Child poverty isn’t inevitable — it’s a policy choice.

The EU can act by:
✅ Strengthening the Social Fund for children
✅ Fully implementing the Child Guarantee
✅ Investing in education, health & housing

Child poverty is the cost Europe can’t afford ➡️ https://t.co/vkQrxOlbfs

Every day, 244 children in Europe fall into poverty.

On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we’re asking: why is this still happening & what can the EU do to change it?

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

1 in 4 children in Europe lives at risk of poverty or social exclusion. That’s 19.5 million children — and the number is growing.

Five years ago, the EU made a pledge to tackle this. So why are things getting worse, not better?

🎯 Europe cannot afford to ignore child poverty. Millions of our children live in poverty. It costs us over 3% of our GDP each year.

Honoured to host at the @europarl the high-level conference on ending child poverty, together with @SaveChildrenEU & @salvaticopiiiro, launching the 2025 report.

@negrescuvictor Europe needs more champions for children like yourself. Thank you for driving the conversation on how the EU can turn promises into concrete policies and investments — and for standing up for every child’s right to a fair start in life.

Every day, children across Europe face barriers to a fair start in life.

Ending child poverty is possible, but it requires bold political action, coordinated effort, and society-wide commitment.

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

Supporting children early is not only right, it’s smart.
When children face disadvantage, societies lose talent, innovation, and economic potential investments in children pay dividends for everyone.

[Save the Children Global Media @Save_GlobalNews]

More than 240 children, on average, have been pushed to the brink of poverty every day in Europe since the EU made a pledge to significantly reduce the risk of child poverty by 2030, new report finds: https://t.co/NRHFJgozEs

[SaveChildren Albania @SaveChildrenAlb]

Children across Europe are proving their voices matter. At #HotAndHappening Week in Brussels, they campaigned, met EU leaders & brought ideas to Parliament. Now, their demands are shaping European policy. See how children are leading change across Europe.

💬 Our message for EU leaders:
Quality education gives every child the tools to shape their future — and ours.

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

Every skilled adult was once a child who have had the chance to learn.
As the #GlobalGatewayForum opens today, we’re joining @WorldVisionEU, Handicap International, @PlanEU, and @ChildFundEU to remind EU leaders that lasting progress begins with education.

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

That’s why, together with our partners, we’ve called on President @vonderleyen and the European

Commission to put inclusive, quality education at the heart of the EU’s #GlobalGateway.

Because building sustainable futures starts with investing in people, not just infrastructure

[Save the Children Europe @SaveChildrenEU]

‼️No child should pay the price of inaction.
