About our charity : War Child War Child
War Child is an international child protection agency that works with the most marginalised children - child soldiers, street kids and children in prison - in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. War Child believes it is unacceptable that children continue to be victims of war. 66% of people who die in conflict are children. In the last decade alone 1.5 million children have died in wars. Four million have been disabled and a further 10 million traumatised. We provide vital, on the ground support programmes in each of the conflict zones we work in but also lobby politicians and governments to ensure our cause and the rights of children affected by war remains high on the public and political agendas. This approach allows us to ensure every pound we receive goes as far as possible - not only to the crucial projects in the field, but to ensuring children caught up in conflict, no matter where they may be, have a chance to be protected. We work where other agencies do not, reaching the most at risk children in the most dangerous war zones and your support means we can continue to do so. War Child looks forward to a world in which war is not prosecuted on children.

Our personal message:

This May, we will be taking part in the Dumball 2008 (dumball.org) - a charity run to Corfu over 7 days in aid of War Child.

War Child works with children who have been hit hardest by some of the recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. This includes imprisoned children and those on the street. Their aim is to tackle poverty, conflict and social exclusion alongside other organisations including government initiatives.

We will be turning this beautiful Honda Accord (pictured left, bought from Roger Hotchkiss who gave us a great deal!) into the fattest, pimpiest, New York style yellow taxi on the face of the planet.  Huge amounts of time, effort, blood, sweat, tears, and a whole lot more is going towards raising as much for War Child as is humanly possibly.

Please, please dig deep and sponsor us online.

100% of what you donate goes straight to War Child.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: War Child will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
