About War Child

At War Child we are driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war.

Using our 30 years of experience and proven methods, we aim to reach children as quickly as possible when conflict breaks out and stay long after the cameras have gone to support them through their recovery.

At War Child, we will never give up on children affected by conflict.
