About War Child
War Child is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades, they’ve been driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child living through war.
They aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and support them long after the cameras have gone. They deliver life-changing services and support in communities affected by conflicts to keep children safe and help them to heal and learn for the chance of a better future.
The Work of War Child
Protecting Children
War Child works with children, families, communities, and governments in conflict zones to protect children from danger. Whether they are moving across borders, living in their homes, on the streets or in refugee camps; they support children’s wellbeing, provide safe spaces for them to play and learn, and get the psychological support they need to process their experiences of conflict.
Educating Children
War Child works to ensure children’s learning continues in times of crisis. They set up temporary learning spaces, provide catch-up classes, rehabilitate schools damaged by bombs and bullets, and support teachers operating in conflict zones. They work with families and communities to ensure they have the resources and knowledge to support their children’s education.
Supporting Communities
War Child provides immediate and long-term support to young people, families and communities living through conflict. They provide families with food, cash relief and access to other life-saving essentials and support young people and caregivers with the skills they need to find apprenticeships and employment.
Campaigning
War Child works to ensure that challenges faced by children are understood and addressed. They boldly campaign to influence global leaders and empower young people to raise issues and campaign for change themselves.
