For this week's #MemberSpotlight, we're proud to feature War Child UK, the only specialist charity dedicated to supporting children affected by conflict. War Child UK is driven by a single goal: ensuring a safe future for every child living through war. In honour of #WorldHumanitarianDay, War Child UK is celebrating the remarkable and selfless contributions of aid workers. Throughout the week, they will be sharing inspiring stories from their dedicated staff.
Aid workers today are more at risk than ever before. Last year was the deadliest year on record, and with 176 already killed this year, 2024 already appears set to surpass this grim milestone. Yet, every day, these amazing individuals wake up, head out the door and put themselves at risk to make a difference in the lives of people in need. What drives them to do what they do? Stay tuned this week to hear from some of our incredible War Child staff. #WorldHumanitarianDay #ActForHumanity
