About Us

War Child is an acclaimed humanitarian organization that has been empowering children, women and families to overcome the brutal impact of war and violence for the past 20 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 makes it possible for children to get back to school, protects their rights, and gives their families the tools they need to escape poverty. This is accomplished with a long term focus, 99% local staff, and by investing 92 cents of every dollar raised on programs that support those affected by conflict.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has added yet another challenge to the lives of vulnerable children. The virus represents a significant threat to their communities due to ongoing conflict, low resources and limited public health and water infrastructure.

War Child front-line staff are deploying innovative ways to support and empower children, their families, and their communities as they face this new crisis.
