Children stronger than war? Absolutely. But they can’t do it alone. That’s why War Child provides mental (emergency) aid to children in conflict areas. Our method is based on science. But it fits seamlessly with the world of experience of children. The result? Unique and proven effective methods for mental aid, education and protection. Packaged as sports, games and creative activities. We stimulate their natural resilience. We playfully remove the war from a child. So that they can slowly and dare to believe in the future again.
