Remember your very first football shirt? Chances are you got it when you were a child.
Tragically, childhoods around the world are under attack from conflict.
A staggering 468 million children are growing up in war zones right now. The impact that conflict has on children’s lives is immense and the trauma of war could stay with them for a lifetime.
War Child is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than three decades we've been driven by a single goal - for no child's life to be torn apart by war.
Donations enable us to provide life-saving aid when conflict breaks out and stay to support children through their recovery - keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for the future. War Child also provides specialist mental health and trauma relief using tools like play and sports including football. Our goal is to help children dream again – and enable them to live a life beyond the nightmare of war.
Whether interested in making a one-off donation or supporting War Child on an ongoing basis as a partner, you can help us provide critical support and services to the world’s most vulnerable children.
You can help us be there for children who need us most, when they need us most.
