ora Kinderhilfe is a Christian children's aid organization that has been helping children and families in need since 1981. In all projects, the focus begins with the most vulnerable: children. We want to help them and their families to lead an independent life in dignity. We start by providing the children with the basic necessities of life. The next step involves the child’s family as well as their environment. We also provide disaster relief.
We are convinced that every human being has an inalienable dignity and has been called into life and is loved by God. Accordingly, we strive to deal with people and ensure that they are given a perspective for their lives.
