“War zones are already one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child, but coronavirus threatens to make life much, much harder.” – War Child UK

Children impacted by war are some of the most vulnerable during the pandemic, but our friends at War Child UK are trying to limit the impact by distributing hygiene kits, providing essential food packages to the hardest-hit families, and using specialist helplines for children who might find themselves alone or vulnerable to abuse in these new circumstances. Where schools have closed, the group is working on home education kits, which will allow poor children without books or basic stationary at home to continue to learn and play.
