Education, safety and friendship for every child
Children Without Borders (KnK) is an international non-profit organisation operating across seven countries, working in regions affected by natural disasters, conflict and socio-economic inequality.
Since its establishment, KnK has worked to empower vulnerable communities through education, disaster resilience, climate action and sustainable development — from building climate- and disaster-resilient schools in Southeast Asia to psychosocial support and vocational training in conflict zones.
