Make a global donation to UNICEF, active in over 190 countries, funding urgent relief such as medical supplies, safe water and vaccines, plus long-term programs for children's health and education. UNICEF's scale means it is often among the first major agencies on the ground when a new crisis breaks out.
The most general international children's option on this list — a good default if you want broad reach across health, education and emergency relief rather than one country or crisis. Being present in over 190 countries also means UNICEF often has existing infrastructure on the ground before a new emergency even happens, letting it respond faster than smaller organisations.
