Mission Statement
War Child are an international charity that believes in a world in which children’s lives are no longer torn apart by war. Children suffer the most at the hands of conflict. Not only are their families, homes and basic services devastated but children are increasingly becoming the deliberate targets of war.
About This Cause
We work in some of the world’s most volatile areas including Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Jordan, Iraq, and Uganda. In these challenging environments we help the most vulnerable children who are too often forgotten during and in the aftermath of conflict. Such as, children living and working on the streets, children who have experienced, or are at risk of rape and sexual violence, former child soldiers, children orphaned or separated from their parents by conflict. Protecting children is at the heart of everything we do. Protecting their lives today, and for years to come. We do this by keeping children safe and nurtured, helping them to get off the streets and into school whilst working with communities for the long term to help them to rebuild what war has torn apart. We understand the vital importance of education. It can not only change a life, but save a life too. It can enable future generations to break loose from the cycle of conflict and poverty. Although we may arrive during a conflict, we remain on the ground for years afterwards. Long after the TV news crews have left, we’re building sustainable livelihoods – to help get communities back on their feet. Our programmes include: - Creating safe havens where children can play and socialise with one another, regaining some sense of normality amongst the uncertainty and reunifying them with family and friends. - Providing medical care and counselling to children who are the survivors of abuse and sexual violence - Establishing Child Helplines, to ensure that children in danger receive help as quickly as possible - Providing basic literacy and numeracy classes for young children – a chance to learn and socialise whilst mothers receive training in vocational skills or basic healthcare - Vocational training for young people to give them the skills and confidence to earn a safe living or small grants for them to set up their own business and become financially independent.
