Celebrating 20 Years of Service

World Children’s Fund is celebrating its 20th year as a charitable organization in the United Kingdom. As we reflect on twenty years of humanitarian service around the globe, one thing is very clear. We couldn’t have done it without you.

What We Do

Basic Needs: Each year an estimated 15 million children die of hunger. World Children's Fund is on the front line of the fight against hunger. In the Horn of Africa, hunger is stalking millions of people. More than a third of all children in the region are now facing emergency levels of malnutrition. We fight hunger worldwide with both emergency food aid, on-going feeding programmes in slums and schools that serve impoverished children. In addition to food relief, WCF also meets basic needs by providing suffering children with clothing, shelter, school supplies & medical relief.

How We Work

World Children's Fund partners with indigenous charitable Programmes. We mobilise our resources and deliver humanitarian relief by working with local people and projects around the world. These partnerships generate synergy and promote economic efficiency.
