Feasibility study for KNH-BMZ climate change response and resilience project in Limpopo - Gauteng, South Africa - Kindernothilfe
Description
Background information
Kindernothilfe (KNH) is a children's rights organisation based on Christian values. Since its foundation in 9, the organisation has been committed to the recognition of children and young people in situations of poverty and marginalisation as subjects of rights. In 0, Kindernothilfe in Germany and its branches in Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg protected and strengthened the rights of 1.9 million children and adolescents through projects in countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. KNH implements awareness raising, education and advocacy projects in line with development policies. The projects contribute to the realisation of children's rights through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Over the past ten years, Kindernothilfe has focused on promoting the Child-rights based approach (CRA) in order to change children's lives for the better in the long term.
