What We Do
Iraq Appeal
One child dies every 5 minutes in Iraq. 1 in 5 don't have enough food and 50% can't go to school. The humanitarian crisis is escalating and yet funding is inadequate. War Child is the only international child protection agency working in south Iraq. Help us raise £1.5m to continue our work with children there.
