Established in 1993, War Child operates in various conflict zones worldwide with a mission to protect, educate, and provide psychosocial support to vulnerable children. 

War Child’s mission centers on three main pillars:

1. Protection: War Child works to ensure the safety of children in conflict zones by providing safe spaces, facilitating reunification with family members, and offering legal assistance to protect their rights. This includes direct interventions to safeguard children from exploitation, abuse, and recruitment by armed groups.
2. Education: Recognizing the transformative power of education, War Child delivers educational programs tailored to the needs of children in war-torn areas. These programs range from basic literacy and numeracy to vocational training and digital education, aiming to equip children with the skills they need to rebuild their lives and communities.
3. Psychosocial Support: War Child offers psychosocial support to help children cope with the trauma and stress of war. This includes structured play, art therapy, and counseling services designed to address mental health issues and promote emotional well-being.

Programs and activities of War Child are implemented in collaboration with local communities and partners to ensure they are culturally relevant and sustainable. Some key initiatives include:

• Child-Friendly Spaces: Establishing safe environments where children can learn, play, and receive psychological support.
• Education in Emergencies: Providing immediate educational opportunities in crisis situations to prevent disruption in learning.
• Youth Empowerment: Engaging young people in leadership and skills development programs to foster resilience and community participation.
• Advocacy: Influencing policies and practices at local, national, and international levels to protect children’s rights and ensure their needs are prioritized in humanitarian responses.
