473 million children worldwide are growing up in the midst of armed conflict. This atmosphere of violence has many direct negative effects on their mental health. This manifests itself, for example, in restlessness, fears and depression.

War Child offers children access to educational opportunities, psychosocial support and safe spaces where children can play and learn among their peers. The organization works directly with children, the important adults in their lives and the local communities around them to ensure programs are effective and sustainable.
