About Company

About War Child UK: War Child, a charity for children affected by war. We work with children who, as a result of conflict, live with a combination of poverty, exclusion, and insecurity. These children might include street children, child-headed households, children conscripted into armed groups, and children who have been put in prison. Our mission is to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children caught up in war, in some of the worst conflict-affected places.

This is a vision that can only be realized through the collective actions of children themselves, communities and their leaders, organizations like War Child, governments, and key decision-makers.
