Our MIssion
War Child’s mission is to empower children and young people to flourish within their communities and overcome the challenges of living with, and recovering from, conflict. To achieve this, War Child works collaboratively with those communities to:
• Increase access to education, especially for girls and young women.
• Overcome the obstacles of poverty and economic marginalization.
• Create a protective environment for the rights of children and youth.
War Child's vision is for a world where no child knows war.
