Where we work
Reaching the children who need our help
In the Middle East we provide children from both refugee and marginalised host communities with vital education and psychosocial support. In Africa our work is designed to help children cope with the immediate and long-term consequences of conflict and build skills for a better future. In Latin America we promote peace-building efforts and support children to boost their wellbeing and resilience.
We work in collaboration with organisations across the world to ensure our work has maximum impact - and reaches the children who need it most.
Where we work
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.
