Overview:
Would you like to help children around the world have a better future by actively participating in the planning and coordination of our projects? Here is Your opportunity!

Kindernothilfe (KNH) in Asia is a virtual coordination space that has an Asia Council comprised of the seven Country Managers of Asia to work together as one team, to galvanise and encourage greater cooperation across countries. The Asia Council is advised by Sub-Councils and are supported by relevant anchors from KNH Germany. This further emphasises our efforts to coordinate as one team at all levels and across all structures. It offers a space for all staff to contribute, in some way, to the decision-making processes.However, the Chair, Co-Chairs and working groups take voluntary, pro bono responsibility for specific matters.
Kindernothilfe in Asia reaffirms Kindernothilfe’s core values and anchor points in the organization’s internationalization process. Sharing of power from the Global North to the Global South underlies and drives this process. Cooperation, decentralization, cost-effectiveness, communication, learning and networking form the key strategic elements of Kindernothilfe in Asia. The ICCs continue to work with the relevant Country Mangers and Programme Coordinators in KNH Germany at country level. This enables a multi nodal engagement that allows broad regional thinking and strategic planning as well as country level, context specific decision-making. The Kindernothilfe in Asia structure made up of the Asia Council and Sub Councils are complemented by a registered regional office in Sri Lanka. This office is legally registered as an overseas office of Kindernothilfe in Germany under the Companies Act of Sri Lanka. It serves as a legal entity that enables staff hires, contracts and fund transfers. Kindernothilfe in Asia does not intend the registered hub to be a management structure that takes over and replace existing management roles either in KNH-G or the ICCs.

About the organization
Kindernothilfe (German for "Supporting children in need") was founded in Germany in 1959 to support vulnerable and marginalized children and youth to develop their full potentials. We want to be a trusted partner to children and youth living in poverty. Our work is anchored in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We are committed to working towards a future free of destitution, violence or abuse. Kindernothilfe's participatory approach gives children and youth a voice. Their ideas and input on how to overcome deprivation and poverty are crucially important to us. Empowering children to lead independent, self-fulfilled lives is what Kindernothilfe is about.
In Nepal, we work hand-in-hand with local partners to combat the most severe child rights violations and their causes. We tackle complex problems with comprehensive community development projects and with self-help programs. We empower children and their families socially, economically and to develop leadership skills to allow them to leverage their own huge potential. The success of our work has proven that all people, even the poorest and supposedly weakest members of society, have great potential. All programs are tailored to local conditions.
