Purpose

PURPOSE:

Achieving a world where children and teenager have the opportunity to live a decent life where they can develop their potentials and together with their families and communities take the development into their own hands.

PRINCIPLES:

The principles of participation and support for self-help are important bases of our work.

Kindernothilfe KNH Ecuador is an organization strongly engaged to the rights of children.

Ensure that children and teenagers and their environment are considered as the fundamental hinge of intervention.

The children and teenagers are seen as subjects of their own development, so we promote active participation in making decision in all programs and projects that we promote as a cooperative agency.

The rights of children and teenagers are the basis of cooperation with local partners.

Focusing of the rights approach in all stages of operation is a fundamental aspect of our work.

Equal rights between men and women are a fundamental aspect for economic, effective and sustainable development. KNH – Ecuador and its strategic partners are engaged to the empowerment of girls and young women and understands that the principle of gender is a crosscutting task at all its program areas, so it supports and promotes  at areas where they are often discriminated (basic education and job training, access to health service).
