Most of us probably can't imagine what children affected by war really encounter. With more than 650,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, War Child protects, educates and stands up for the rights of the children involved. With many refugees unable to work, children are forced to work illegally to support their families but are also at risk of abuse, child labour and child marriage.

By donating to War Child you are helping to provide safe areas to play, classes to improve reading and writing but also supporting every child's basic right to living free from fear and violence and receiving an education.

My A&O colleagues and I will trek through the mountains and dessert of Jordan for 4 days and I am very kindly asking you donate even the smallest amount to support a charity trying to help so many affected around the world!

Thank you so much in advance!!

NB: EVERY ££ YOU DONATE WILL BE MATCHED BY ALLEN & OVERY!!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
