Can you help us be there for children this winter?

Right now is one of the deadliest times to be a child this century.

When war breaks out, children don't just lose their toys, homes and schools. In conflict zones like Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine, children are going through things so traumatic, they can often no longer eat, speak or sleep.

And even when the bombing and fighting stops, the nightmare continues.

But War Child is putting the pieces back together. Our local staff work tirelessly in some of the most dangerous places in the world. They put their own lives at risk to get children the life-saving supplies and mental health first aid they so desperately need. 

The quicker we can reach a traumatised child, the more likely they are to recover.

This Winter, it’s not the thought that counts – we have to take action. Please donate to our appeal and help War Child to continue to be there for children in conflict when they need us the most. 

War Child's Response

War Child and its partners help children and families survive by providing life-saving essentials such as food, clean water, shelter, warm clothing, blankets, and hygiene kits.

However, shelter and blankets alone won’t help a child sleep at night, and food and water won’t heal the deep trauma they’ve endured.

That’s why, together with our partners, War Child provides specialist psychological first aid to children. Group play, art, and structured activities help build emotional resilience, enabling children to better cope with stress and trauma. The sessions also offer a brief but vital respite from the horrors they are facing.

War Child support children for as long as it takes to help them heal, regain stability, and thrive despite the devastating impacts of war.
