FOREWORD

All of us at War Child were proud to support more than 380,000 children during 2016. Children who are forced to live with the terrible effects of violence and armed conflict.

TJIPKE BERGSMA AND PETER BAKKER

All of us at War Child have a shared ambition to significantly increase the scale and impact of our work.

IVAN'S STORY

Nineteen-year-old Ivan combines his university studies with work as a facilitator at War Child's former partner organisation Fundescodes. Ivan lives in Buenaventura, one of the most violent cities in Colombia.

ABOUT THIS REPORT

This Annual Report provides an account of our activities in 2016 and clarifies our role in the humanitarian aid sector.
