War Child is an independent and impartial, international nongovernmental organization investing in a peaceful future for children and young people affected by armed conflict.  Children need to be protected from violence. By using creative and involving workshops we unleash the children's inner strength. We work with children regardless of their religion, ethnicity, social background, or gender. Our work is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We implement programmes in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Europe. Our head office is located in the Netherlands.

War Child Holland in Lebanon has been actively responding to the Syria emergency crisis since early 2012. War Child is currently co-leading the psychosocial working group in Lebanon and providing protection and psychosocial support services to Syrian children. Our services are also accessed by significant numbers of children and young people from both the Palestinian refugee and Lebanese host communities - contributing to peace-building efforts. In several Safe Spaces across the country, children can begin to recover from the experience of their displacement and access support to boost their psychosocial and emotional well-being. We work to reach as many people as possible through our programmes - including parents and other.
