War Child - War Child Steps Up Urgent Mental Health Response

Our Mission

War Child works exclusively to strengthen the resilience and wellbeing of children living with violence and armed conflict. We deliver vital child protection, education and psychosocial support.

Our Vision

War Child works to provide psychological support, child-protection and quality education. We collaborate with organisations across the world to ensure our work has maximum impact - and reaches the children who need it most.

Our Strategy

Graphic scenes of children brutalised by violence are among the defining images of our time. Yet the nature of armed conflict is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

What We Do for Children

War Child works exclusively to improve the psychosocial wellbeing of children affected by conflict. Our integrated programmes combine psychosocial support, education and child protection for maximum impact.

Research and Development

Research and Development (R&D) is a key driver of War Child’s ambition to become an expert organisation in the field of improving the psychosocial wellbeing of children and youth affected by armed conflict.

War Child Care System

The Care System is made up of a set of ‘Core Interventions’ that address the various needs of conflict-affected children and communities.

Our Theory of Change

War Child programmes continue to adhere to our Theory of Change (ToC) which guides the development and implementation of our Care System inside our countries of operation.
