War-Child

NXNE's Official Charitable Partner for 2008: War Child Canada

War Child Canada has always enjoyed a close relationship with the music industry. Many artists, managers, label representatives, agents, and promoters have generously donated their time and talent in support of War Child Canada’s efforts to generate awareness, support and advocacy for children’s rights everywhere.  

War Child Canada is an internationally recognized, award-winning charity that supports war-affected children and their families in some of the most devastated regions of the world. War Child Canada provides opportunities and long term solutions to war-affected children, focusing on education, strengthening children's rights, reducing poverty and fostering self reliance.  War Child Canada works in partnership with local people and organizations to build sustainable programming that empowers children and their communities. War Child Canada currently provides support to communities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan (including Darfur and southern Sudan), Uganda, Sierra Leone, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana (Liberian refugees), Sri Lanka and Georgia.

“If the Junos ever hand out an award for Best Music Charity, War Child Canada would be the most likely winner.  No other charity has involved as many Canadian musicians in benefit concerts, documentaries and CD compilations (all to assist children affected by war and to raise awareness of children’s rights) than War Child.” -          Inside Entertainment Magazine, April/May 2008
