War Child is globally recognized for our grassroots, community-driven model of humanitarian action.

Our Focus

War Child designs programs that help children, families, and communities break the cycle of poverty and violence and see brighter futures

Education

Globally, a staggering 250 million children are out of school, with many denied their right to learn because of armed conflict.


For a quarter of a century, War Child has pioneered creative and innovative solutions to bring children back to the classroom. 

Opportunity

War Child provides vocational and skills training to parents and young people and offers guidance and financial support to help them establish sustainable businesses, lift themselves out of poverty, and regain a sense of security and independence.

Protection

War Child empowers women and children with the skills and tools to advocate for themselves and their communities. This can take many forms, from youth-led initiatives on peace and conflict management, to radio broadcasts on the rights of children, and women-led programming.

OUR LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAMS BUILD BETTER FUTURES

War Child’s model of humanitarian action is rooted in collaboration and is locally-driven and locally-led.

Catch-Up Learning

We help children who were forced to leave school to catch up on their education. Our teams develop condensed curriculums and train teachers in delivering these lessons.

Legal Aid for Women and Children

To protect their rights, our lawyers provide free legal representation to women and children who have survived violence and abuse.

Food and Farming Support

We support farming families so they can feed their communities. We provide supplies, including seeds and tools, and training, like livestock management and new farming techniques.

Peacebuilding

We teach conflict resolution to young people on both sides of a dispute so they can live and work peacefully.
