Read about our work, impact and analysis
In Gaza, children and their families are being supported not only to return to learning, but to rebuild a sense of safety, confidence, and hope. This is the purpose of War Child's project Reconnecting to Education implemented by a local partner in Gaza, with support from READ Foundation.
Sudan is not a forgotten crisis; it is an unspoken one. After three years of ongoing conflict, the country remains one of the worst places to be a child, and yet the response continues to fall short of what is needed.
Three years into the brutal war in Sudan, tens of thousands of children, women, and men have been killed, starved, and maimed in what is today the world’s largest and fastest-growing displacement crisis. With the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan and its impacts across the region showing no signs of abating, NGOs working across the region are alarmed at the insufficient funding response and diplomatic attention that this conflict and the consequent regional crisis is receiving.
We are devastated to receive the news about the killing of Zahra’a, a child participant under our education programme in Baalbek, Lebanon, in an Israeli airstrike last week. The strike happened on 8th April when deadly Israeli airstrikes targeted several districts across the country, killing 33 children and injuring 153.
As the violence intensifies in Lebanon, our staff tell us about their daily lives, working with children, and coping with stress.
War Child is thrilled to share that on Monday 30 March, the UN Human Rights Council unanimously adopted a biannual resolution on the rights of the child: “Realising the rights of the child affected by armed conflict.”
War Child strongly condemns the Israeli airstrike on the premises of our partner, Kalimat Association on Sunday 5 April.
The Board of Trustees is delighted to announce the appointment of Laura Miller as the interim Chief Executive Officer of War Child Alliance Foundation.
