War Child is a small international charity that protects children living in the world’s most dangerous war zones. They currently work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. We are very happy to be a part of this wonderful charity by powering War Child maps.

More than 2.7 million children under 5 have died due to the effects of conflict since 1998. In total 5.4m people have died - that constitutes the biggest death toll of any conflict since World War II.
