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. We also reached 124,000 adults - such as parents, caregivers and teachers - to enable them to better care for children in areas affected by conflict. In total more than 500,000 people took part in our programmes - the most people we have reached this decade.

Our Annual Report provides a complete overview of our work in 2016. The report describes in detail everything we do in fourteen countries. The report also contains full information on our income and expenditure and our various fundraising activities.
