Organisation: War Child
Canada
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
Reports to: Chief of Party
About War Child:
War Child Canada works with war-affected communities to help children
reclaim their childhood through access to education, opportunity and justice.
War Child Canada takes an active role in raising public awareness around the
impact of war on communities and the shared responsibility to act. When war
itself ends, the consequences endure. A lack of employment opportunities, the
absence of effective economic or social structures, an under-educated
population and a culture of impunity around rights violations combine to create
conditions that make a return to conflict all too possible. But by making a
long-term investment to create an environment in which childhood can thrive,
the cycle of violence can be broken. War Child Canada is a registered Canadian
charity based in Toronto and currently works in Afghanistan, Sudan, South
Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and Uganda.
