No child should be part of war. Ever.
Around the world, children’s lives continue to be torn apart by terrifying fighting. The trauma of war can last a lifetime. Many children living in countries like Ukraine, the occupied Palestinian territory, Syria and Democratic Republic of Congo have lived through nightmares that no child should ever have to experience.
War Child is dedicated to reaching the most vulnerable children and our local staff work tirelessly in some of the most dangerous places in the world. Often they put their own lives at risk to get children the life-saving aid and mental health support they so desperately need.
Our goal is to reach every single child whose life is being torn apart by conflict. But we can’t do it without you. Start a regular gift to War Child today to help keep children safe, as well as heal, learn and thrive.
Donate to children in war.
