The Power of Childhood.
Childhood is a pivotal time in our lives. But it is also fragile, and can be easily corrupted by the effects of war. By providing access to education, opportunity and justice, War Child gives children in war-affected communities the chance to reclaim their childhood and break the cycle of poverty and violence.
“Where childhood thrives, war does not,” speaks to the organization’s efforts to provide children with the “access to education, opportunity and justice they need to reclaim their childhood and grow into adults capable of creating lasting change in their communities,” says Stephen Jurisic, co-creative director, John St.
“In our mind it feels like a natural evolution to the past work we have done [for War Child],” he adds. “It’s still provocative, but this messaging is building in more hope and clarity to what War Child does in conflict zones.”
