About War Child

Registered charity number: 1071659

War Child work to transform the lives of tens of thousands of children and are campaigning to improve the lives of millions more.

War Child was founded in 1993 by British filmmakers Bill Leeson and David Wilson when they returned from covering the war in former Yugoslavia.

Shocked by what they had seen, they raised enough money to return later that year with a convoy and mobile bakery to help provide for the children affected by the conflict.

War Child provide life-changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war. Their vital work includes…

• Providing medical care, sanctuary and counselling to girls who have been the victim of sexual violence.
• Creating safe havens where children can escape the dangers of life on the streets after war has forced them to leave home.
• Rebuilding schools destroyed by war and getting kids out of army uniforms and into school ones.
• Helping children get their voices heard and their rights met, and helping local people to protect their children better.
