War Kids Relief is a nonprofit, nonpolitical peace-building organization that creates facilities, programs and expertise enabling children traumatically affected by war to realize new possibilities for their lives. As an integral part of this mission, War Kids Relief provides opportunities for young people to play a leadership role in the pursuit of peace.
“War Kids Relief and our fundraising event, ‘A Soldier’s March for Peace,’ are not about politics. The people of the US need and want ways to support children affected by war. They also want a concrete way to support our troops. What better way to do both than to keep the children of these war-torn countries out of the hands of insurgents and prevent their use of these children as tools of war? War Kids Relief provides this opportunity.”
– Gunnar Swanson, Program Director
