War Child Alliance is a child-focused international non-governmental organisation dedicated to supporting children and young people affected by armed conflict. We work to ensure that children can access protection, education and psychosocial support in safe, inclusive and nurturing environments, and that their rights and voices are respected in all decisions that affect them.
In Syria, War Child works through country offices and local partner organisations to deliver integrated child protection, education and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programming for conflict-affected children, adolescents, caregivers and communities. Our teams operate in a highly complex and fluid context across different parts of the country, balancing the imperative to reach those most in need with our duty of care toward staff and partners and our commitment to principled, needs-based humanitarian action.

About us
The War Child Alliance
The War Child Alliance Foundation is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) committed to supporting children affected by armed conflict. We work alongside partners, governments, educators, caregivers and communities to strengthen children’s wellbeing and learning, protect them from harm, and ensure that war does not define their futures.
Central to our approach are evidence-based methodologies, using research and learning from thirty years of experience to build evidence of what works and expand effective approaches across different contexts.
Our global teams work across different countries and regions, bringing together expertise and experience from diverse contexts. War Child currently operates in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Jordan, Lebanon, the occupied Palestinian territory, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Ukraine, and Yemen. We also have Member Alliance offices in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Children in Conflict in the US. https://www.warchild.net/
