    Annual Report 2017 Mission Vision War Child’s mission is to work with war-affected War Child’s vision is for a world communities to help children reclaim their childhood where no child knows war. through access to education, opportunity and justice. War Child takes an active role in raising public awareness around the impact of war on communities and the shared responsibility to act. War Child Canada Board of Directors Michael Eizenga (Chair) Denise Donlon Nils Engelstad Omar Khan Jeffrey Orridge Elliot Pobjoy All photographs © War Child Canada Cover illustration by Eric Hanson © Eric Hanson Beneficiary names have been changed for their own protection. Letter from the Founder and Chair Dear Friends, To listen to some commentators talk about human rights, you would think that they represent the most restrictive system of regulations, designed to threaten the sovereignty of democratically elected governments. But take a look at the Universal Declaration and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it is hard to see where the controversy lies. The right to life, liberty and security. The right to freedom from slavery or torture. The right to free expression. The right to an education. The right to be protected from harm. These are not onerous obligations on government but rather the basic protections one should expect, particularly for children, from a functioning state. The Convention on the Rights of the Child is War Child Canada’s guiding document. As you will read in this report, everything we do is in support of the rights enshrined within it. While the Convention is directed at governments, the responsibilities it describes can be equally applied to non-government organizations, community leaders and ordinary citizens.

  • Samantha Nutt, M.D
    Samantha Nutt, M.D. For 15 years, Dr. Samantha Nutt has been at the frontline of many of the world's major crises – from Iraq to Afghanistan, Somalia to the Congo, and Sierra Leone to Darfur. As one of the most original and influential voices in the humanitarian arena, she is a go‐to authority for many of North America's leading media outlets. In 1995, 25‐year‐old Nutt, a recent medical‐school graduate and a field volunteer for UNICEF, touched down in Baidoa, Somalia, "the City of Death." What she saw there – gangs of young men roaming the streets armed with rocket launchers; a woman in a clinic line holding a dead baby; an aid agency working in such an unsafe environment that its workers had to travel with armed escorts high on drugs – would spur her onto a lifetime of passionate advocacy for children and families in war‐torn areas around the world. It also provided the basis for her forthcoming book, Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies, and Aid, a brilliant account of her experiences providing hands‐on care in some of the world's most violent flashpoints while building the world class nonprofit War Child North America. Combining original research with her personal story, the book is a deeply thoughtful meditation on war as it is being waged around the world against millions of civilians – primarily women and children – and an exposé of how we facilitate and fuel these seemingly faraway atrocities. Laying out real solutions to these problems, Dr. Nutt shows how to move beyond outdated notions of charity towards a more progressive, inclusive, and respectful worldview.
