One and a half million children have been killed in armed conflicts throughout the world over the last ten years. Four million children have been disabled in these conflicts. Many millions more, themselves traumatised, have had their communities destroyed, or have been denied the opportunity to celebrate in full their childhood and prevented from developing the livelihood skills that they will need to live fulfilling lives as they grow.

War Child believes that children should not ever be the victims of armed conflict. For those children who become victims of armed conflict, War Child believes that their security and access to quality health, education and recreational facilities and services should still be a right and that, wherever possible, they should benefit from the love and care of their families and communities.

War Child was founded in 1993 in response to the conflict raging in the former Yugoslavia. Initially raising money through entertainment events and public appeals, War Child set out to bring immediate material aid to children of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Today we run projects for children affected by war in Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

We sell on eBay various music and art memorabilia donated by celebrities, musicians and artists. All proceeds raised go come to War Child, enabling us to provide support to children affected by war.
