dbpprop:abstract
  • Kindernothilfe (KNH) was founded in 1959 by a group of Christians in Duisburg, Germany, in order to help needy children in India. Over time, it has become one of the largest Christian organizations in Europe for children's aid. Today it supports more than 300,000 children and young people in 27 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. KNH aims to give needy children in the poorest countries of the world a chance to a good start in life. That means a basic school education and vocational training, good nutrition and health care, as well as community-oriented support to the families of the children. KNH works together with partner organizations located abroad, usually churches, congregations or Christian organizations. However, the support of children is always granted irrespective of religion. The head office is in Duisburg. Here, staff members and volunteers coordinate the work abroad and carry out administrative, educational and lobby work as well as launch publicity campaigns.
  • Die Kindernothilfe ist eines der größten christlichen Hilfswerke in Deutschland. Weltweit fördert es ca. 270.000 Kinder in 27 Ländern. Auch in Österreich und der Schweiz existieren gleichnamige Organisationen.
