War is changing — Children are being targeted in places they feel safest - schools, homes, communities – At a scale never seen before.
Children around the world are facing life-threatening injuries, and trauma - requiring specialist child-first support to heal, recover and rebuild their lives.
We need your help.
As conflicts escalate — and with 1 in 5 children now living in a conflict zone - Our teams must adapt fast to reach children with lifesaving medical care and mental health support, and to prevent further child casualties.
Your support today could help a child growing up in conflict get through the scariest time of their lives.
Children need your support more than ever
No child should have to learn to walk twice.
From campaigning for change, to developing child-led medical support - your support helps to protect, heal and rebuild children's lives.

The new front line
Explosive weapons are killing and maiming children while the world watches. The laws designed to protect them are being ignored.
