War Child was founded in 1993 by filmmakers David Wilson and Bill Leeson, along with social entrepreneur Willemijn Verloop, who were horrified by the violence and ethnic cleansing they witnessed in Bosnia. Thirty years ago, children in conflict zones had no access to professional psychological support – no charity was set up to address this need. That all changed in 1993, when filmmakers David Wilson, Bill Leeson, and social entrepreneur Willemijn Verloop travelled to the former Yugoslavia and saw first-hand how war, much like in Ukraine today, was impacting innocent children.
