Around the world, over 473 million children – that’s more than one in six globally, live in a conflict zone. War impacts every aspect of childhood, including the freedom to play, learn, and grow up safely.

War Child is a globally recognized humanitarian organization that has been protecting children and families from the brutal impact of war and violence for over 25 years.

Using a bold, community-driven approach, War Child delivers programs that give children the best chance of overcoming the challenges of war and growing up to see a brighter future. War Child’s programs provide at-risk children and families –many of whom have been displaced by war – with the education, protection, and economic opportunities they need to thrive.

Their sustainable model is focused on long-term impact and led at the local level. 99 percent of War Child’s staff are local to the countries in which they operate and their leadership, determination, and profound local insights fuel War Child’s approaches and decision-making.

War Child supports the most vulnerable people living in the most complex humanitarian environments around the world, including Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
