Kinderhilfe Emmaus is a German non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to improve the lives of disadvantaged children in Peru. The organization was founded in 1993 by a German couple, Helga and Karl-Heinz Mohns, who had been living in Peru since 1971 and were inspired to help children in need.
Kinderhilfe Emmaus operates several programs and projects in Peru, including a children's home in the city of Trujillo, where children who have been abandoned, abused, or orphaned can receive shelter, food, education, and healthcare. The organization also provides support for children and families in the surrounding communities, such as through educational and vocational training programs, medical care, and assistance with housing and basic needs.
In addition to its work in Peru, Kinderhilfe Emmaus also partners with other organizations and NGOs around the world to support children in need. The organization is funded by donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and it has received numerous awards and recognitions for its humanitarian work.
