War Child Offices
There are three independent offices of War Child: War Child Canada (1999), War Child Holland (1994) and War Child UK (1993). These offices share the same aims and goals, but work autonomously, with independent trustees and financial coordination. The War Child Holland office is the largest of the three, with more than €12,6 million euro in projects spent (2010), and a direct reach of more than 700,000 children. War Child UK is the second largest office with projects for €4,3 million (2010). War Child Canada has the smallest operational budget of €3,4 million euro (2009).

Famous quotes containing the words war, child and/or offices:
“Physical nature lies at our feet shackled with a hundred chains. What of the control of human nature? Do not point to the triumphs of psychiatry, social services or the war against crime. Domination of human nature can only mean the domination of every man by himself.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does “just for fun” and things that are “educational.” The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“In a virtuous government, and more especially in times like these, public offices are, what the should be, burthens to those appointed to them which it would be wrong to decline, though foreseen to bring with them intense labor and great private loss.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
