War Child was founded in 1993 after Dutch social entrepreneur Willemijn Verloop and British filmmakers David Wilson and Bill Leeson visited Yugoslavia during the Bosnian War. Grassroots efforts by those on the ground to provide education, like musical workshops held in bomb shelters, inspired the three of them to start raising money for workshops and education initiatives in war zones.
In January 2024, five different fundraising hubs reorganized themselves into the War Child Alliance.
It’s one thing to adapt solutions on the cutting-edge for less privileged communities. But War Child’s work goes beyond that to focus on users living in environments with severely degraded, if not destroyed, infrastructure.
