Its work is supported by 487 national and international staff as well as volunteers and advocates.

It is made up of three entities: War Child Netherlands, War Child Sweden (established 2016) and War Child Germany (established 2019).

Its specific focus is providing relevant mental health and psychosocial support, protection and education, as well as rapid assistance in emergency situations. War Child Holland works on strengthening the resilience and well-being of children living with violence and armed conflict, acting in partnership with children and their communities to deliver interventions. War Child Holland set up War Child Sweden in 2016 and War Child Germany in 2019. In 2002, War Child UK established War Child Australia and War Child Ireland in 2003. War Child Canada was established several years later in 1999 with an affiliated War Child USA. The organization uses innovative marketing campaigns, a positive message and striking collaborations with the business community, the entertainment industry and ambassadors. In the first ten years, War Child Holland quickly established itself as a distinctive brand. The organisation grew rapidly and within three years was present in Sudan, Ingushetia and in Pakistan. On leaving Bosnia, Leeson and Wilson went on to establish War Child UK in 1994 and Verloop returned to the Netherlands where she organised fundraising events in support of children in conflict zones, setting up Stichting War Child (known as War Child Holland) on 9 October 1995. In 1993, a first convoy with equipment and food to run a mobile bakery travelled to former Yugoslavia. The trio were deeply shocked by the children’s experiences of conflict but were inspired by the positive impact music therapy workshops run by Music Therapy professor Nigel Osborne in air raid shelters in Mostar and Sarajevo were having on the children’s well-being. War Child was established by film-makers Bill Leeson, David Wilson, and social entrepreneur and peace activist Willemijn Verloop in response to violence and ethnic cleansing they witnessed in war-torn former Yugoslavia in 1993, in the midst of the Bosnian War. 7.1 War Child UK stars, media, and music.
