pounds 40,000 so far raised for victims of conflict
CHILDREN OF WAR APPEAL
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As Christmas approaches, the 'Independent' is asking readers to support four charities working to help child victims of the wars in former Yugoslavia. So far, the appeal has brought in pounds 40,000 for the four charities:
Save the Children is focusing on children who have been separated from their families, counselling and reuniting them;
The Red Cross is running the largest humanitarian operation in the region, looking after refugee camps and linking people through its messaging network;
War Child plans to build a pounds 2.5m music-therapy centre in Mostar, and to send urgently needed prosthetics to wounded children in the Tuzla area;
Child Advocacy International aims to bring up to 100 sick children to Britain for treatment they could not obtain at home.
Please make your cheques or postal orders payable to the charities of your choice and send them to us with the completed coupon.
