War Child

is a specialist charity supporting children affected by conflict. For over 30 years it has worked globally to protect, educate, support mental health, and stand up for children’s rights. It now works in 14 countries, including Ukraine.

Mental health support

Mental health support
Conflict leaves invisible scars. But there can be hope for recovery. War Child helps children process trauma through art, play and sport, and begin healing through specialist mental health care.

Safe spaces and shelters

Safe spaces and shelters
Every child deserves safety. War Child offers shelter, food and care, while transforming dark, cold bomb shelters into bright, welcoming spaces like kindergartens in Ukraine. You can help give a child who has lost everything somewhere to feel safe. 

Support for parents

Support for parents
When parents are supported, children can thrive. War Child strengthens families with emotional support groups so parents can help their children recover. You can give children and their families hope and the chance to recover from the unimaginable.
