A 5th Element NI fundraiser for War Child
Fundraising for War Child
Story
In places like Palestine, Afghanistan, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, to name but a few, the impact of conflict on children is far-reaching and often devastating. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of the issue, but it's equally important to recognise the tangible difference we can make together.
We are organising a fundraising event in 5th Element NI to support a very important organisation, War Child.
About War Child
War Child is striving for a world in which no child's life is torn apart by war.
Around the world children are facing unprecedented levels of conflict. This is especially true in Gaza and Israel, Afghanistan, Syria and many more, where thousands of children have died in the most recent escalation in violence, fighting and bombing. Terrified, traumatised and unsure of what the future holds, children living in Gaza, Ukraine and other conflict zones around the world are in desperate need of protection.
War Child protects, educates and stands up for the rights of children living in war zones. By making a donation, you will be making a difference to thousands of children whose lives have been turned upside-down by conflict.
You’ll help War Child provide the emergency care and support they need to overcome the emotional and physical toll of conflict, as well as access to services to catch up on lost education that will help to transform their futures for the better.
