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


Everyday children all around the world struggle to access basic humans rights that are abundant, including equitable education, surgical and medical care, as well as the resources to live a life without substantial hardship. With your help, we can lessen unnecessary suffering that countless children are enduring now and in the near future. Funding our mission will save lives, secure transformative surgical care for waitlisted children, reach more marginalized youth without access to equatable education, mobilize and deploy emergency response teams, supply humanitarian aid when and where needed, and build local capacity in low resource communities. 

Our IMPACT is tangible & every dollar spent is accounted for.

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.
