This is the first of War Child UK’s annual reports on UK commitment to children in armed conflict.
In 2019, the UK had support relationships in at least eight countries where grave violations against children were verified by the UN. In this new report, War Child states that building the capacity of partner military forces, without appropriate efforts to ensure that the capacity is used in accordance with international law and best practice, places more children at risk.
In 2016, we reached 109,000 children, young people and adults across our country programmes thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters and partners.
In 2017, thanks to our amazing supporters and partners we were able to reach 165,237 children, young people and adults – beating our annual target of 160,000.
2018 was another proud year for War Child in our efforts to support and stand up for children in some of the most hostile environments on earth. As a result of our work, more than 100,000 children and their families living with the scourge of conflict across Africa and the Middle East were able to access a range of crucial services.
Thanks to our amazing supporters and partners, we reached a total of 100,217 children, young people and adults in conflict-affected countries in 2019.
