War Child: Helping the Innocent Victims of War
War Child is a network of independent organisations working across the world to help children affected by war. War Child stands on the twin beliefs: that we�re not free to ignore an innocent victim�s plea for help and that children are the seed-corn of society, its future hope. War Child interprets the term �war zone� to include areas of current armed conflict, areas where children are still suffering from the devastation of war leaves in its aftermath; and areas where children�s lives are in jeopardy due to poverty, violence and disease.
