Facts and figures
Child rights under attack
The fundamental rights of these 142 million children to be protected, educated and live their lives free from fear and trauma are repeatedly violated. Which means our work is needed now more than ever.
The facts and figures speak for themselves…
Where we work
War Child is active in fourteen countries where children are forced to live with effects of armed conflict. We have 268 colleagues helping them to deal with these effects and shape their own futures.
Our project countries
War Child works in areas affected by armed conflict. This may be during the conflict or after it has ended. Working in these areas presents a variety of challenges ranging from insecurity to political and logistic constraints.
