War Child is a UN award-winning child protection agency with 15 years of experience working with the most severely marginalised children in the world - child soldiers, children in prison and children who live and work on the streets in insecure environments - including girls at risk of rape or violence.

War Child’s mission is to support and strengthen the protective environment for children who, as a result of conflict, live with a combination of insecurity, poverty and exclusion.
