War Child supports conflict-affected children in some of the most vulnerable areas of the occupied Palestinian territory. Working closely with local NGOs, community-based organisations and government bodies, we protect children from harm and support their psychosocial wellbeing using holistic and integrated approaches. We work to improve access to mental health, remedial education and child protection services – with specific support to adolescent girls who have experienced trauma and engage in strategies to resolve interpersonal conflict.

We empower community members - particularly young people and educators - to equip children with the skills to cope with life amidst violence and occupation – as well as parents and caregivers - strengthening their resilience and ability to provide nurturing family environments.

And whenever we see children’s rights being violated - no matter by whom - we speak out, working closely with duty-bearers to prevent further violations.
