Uganda remains Africa’s largest refugee host country, sheltering over 2,000,000 refugees and asylum seekers as of September 2026. As these vulnerable communities continue to grow, the critical services needed to support them are experiencing severe funding shortages.
War Child’s Head of Programmes in Ukraine, Yaroslava Mozghova, and Anna Sydoruk, CEO of Osvitoria, War Child’s partner, explain how no matter where children live in Ukraine, they cannot escape the uncertainty of war.
A new report from War Child Alliance warns that deep cuts to humanitarian funding are leaving millions of children without access to life-saving protection, education and mental health and psychosocial support. At the same time as these cuts are widening the gap between children and critical support, conflict and violations against children are rising worldwide.
