Kindernothilfe (KNH) is a development partner to organisations in 36 countries in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean. We began working in Bangladesh following the independence of the country. We partner with national and local organizations through a Child Rights Approach with the aim of protecting and promoting the rights of marginalized children regardless of sex, race, ethnic origin, creed or religion. We work for community development using the Self-Help Group Approach and other specific strategic modalities to empower women and address child rights violations.
