Transparency is a key priority for us

Transparency has alway been a matter of highest importance to us. A comprehensive internal and external controlling system ensures proper use of donations and verifies the impact of our work. We provide detailed accounting reports to our donors on how donations are spent. To further enhance transparency and prevent corruption, we have committed ourselves to publicly recognised codes of conduct. In recognition of our responsible use of donations, we have received the DZI donations seal of approval on an annual basis since 1992. Within the scope of the Transparency Award, which PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Germany, has conferred to charity organisations since 2005, Kindernothilfe has been honoured numerous times for its high-quality and transparent reporting on its goals, activities, internal structures and use of funding.
