CHILDREN OF WAR FOUNDATION
“We live in a world mired in pandemic, torn by discrimination, endangered by
climate change and scarred by poverty, inequality and war.”
-Secretary General, Guterres
Children of War Foundation's "COWF" mission is to deliver access to global health and education to communities affected by poverty, war, natural disaster, discrimination, climate change, isolation, and migration challenges.
COWF envisions a world where disadvantaged children succeed in life in an environment that promotes their health, social, cultural and moral development. Thanks to our care and commitment to youth worldwide, progress will be made simultaneously on all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

COWF'S 2030 SDG AGENDA FOCUSED ON REDUCING DISPARITIES IN GLOBAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION
No one yet knows how COVID-19 will fundamentally reshape our global society or for how long. As we’ve seen since March 2020, the ability to communicate and collaborate with peers and those communities dependent on foreign aid in multiple forms from around the world is a necessity to continue our mission.
We are reshaping our mission to address the heart of the problem by scoping and adapting to accelerate the use of transformative technologies and connectivity to share knowledge and bridge resources both in developed and underserved communities globally.
