Nutrition and Water
Hunger and a lack of access to clean water threaten the health and development of millions of children worldwide. Climate change, droughts, and crop failures further exacerbate food insecurity for many families. That is why ChildFund is committed to sustainable solutions: Through climate-resilient agriculture, the protection of natural resources, and reliable access to clean water, we lay the foundation for regular, healthy meals. In this way, we empower families for the long term and help children grow up healthy and shape their own futures.
Education and Opportunities
Education is the key to a self-determined future and a fundamental right of every child. It opens up opportunities, protects against poverty and exploitation, and promotes health and equal opportunities. That is why ChildFund is committed to ensuring that all children have access to a quality education. We build and support schools, promote inclusive and age-appropriate teaching, and create better learning conditions. At the same time, we strengthen vocational training so that adolescents and young adults can enter the workforce with good prospects for the future.
Hope and Help
In times of crisis and emergency, ChildFund provides rapid and targeted humanitarian aid. We provide children and families with food, clean water, hygiene supplies, medicine, and safe shelter. At the same time, we create safe spaces, offer psychosocial support, and provide access to education. In this way, we help people in acute emergencies and support them in developing new prospects for the future.
Livelihoods and the Future
Children can only develop healthily if their families live in safe and stable conditions. That is why ChildFund supports families and communities in overcoming poverty and creating sustainable income opportunities. By promoting secure jobs, financial independence, and better prospects for the future, we strengthen families’ livelihoods. In this way, we create the conditions necessary for children to grow up in a safe environment and reach their full potential.
Frequently asked
What does ChildFund Deutschland stand for, and what is the goal of its work?
Our goal is to bring about lasting improvements in the future prospects of children in need, their families, and their entire communities. Through our commitment to these children and families, we aim to make a positive difference and create lasting improvements, always guided by the principle of helping people help themselves. This enables them to exercise their rights, overcome poverty and dependency, and lead independent and self-determined lives.
How can I be sure that my donation actually reaches its destination?
The efficient use of the donations entrusted to us is our top priority. To ensure that our aid is used in a highly targeted manner, we rely on close collaboration with local partner organizations in all the countries where we operate, so that our assistance meets the specific needs on the ground. Furthermore, all our support is guided by the principle of helping people help themselves. This ensures that the people in our projects benefit from long-term and lasting changes and, in the long run, no longer depend on aid but can live independently and self-determinedly. Our transparent and responsible handling of donations is also confirmed by the DZI Donation Seal, which we have been awarded continuously since 1995 by the German Central Institute for Social Issues.
How does ChildFund Deutschland work?
Our work is made possible by three sources of funding: sponsorships, other donations, and public funds. Our projects funded by sponsorships are designed for the long term. They are characterized by particularly close collaboration between our partner organizations in the respective project country and the local communities.
The donation-based and publicly funded projects have a shorter duration. Due to the limited timeframe, these projects require more intensive planning and support on our part.
In all projects, ChildFund plays two specific roles: First, raising funds so that the project work can be implemented at all. And second, bringing together and building bridges between those who provide money and expertise and those who lack these resources. The goal is to maximize mutual benefit from the collaboration and to advance our projects in the most effective way possible.
