War Child is a Dutch charity (Stichting War Child, based in Amsterdam) that works for children growing up in war and conflict zones. Its work covers psychosocial support, child protection and education, delivered through its own programmes and through local and international partner organisations. Its approach combines a tiered system of evidence-based methods, the War Child Zorgsysteem, which is tested and evaluated by an in-house research team and external scientists. Programmes also involve children's families, teachers and communities so that local people can carry the methods forward. War Child reports working in several countries, including Lebanon, Sudan, Uganda and South Sudan, and runs activities in the Netherlands. It is recognised as an ANBI (public-benefit organisation), funds its work through donations, legacies, corporate partnerships and grants, and invites individuals and companies to support it through donations, sponsorship, volunteering and fundraising actions.
