Welcome to KiRA - Children's Rights in Africa

KiRA (short for Kinderrechte Afrika e. V.) is a non-profit organization for the protection of children’s rights in African countries. Founded in Lahr, Germany, in 1995, KiRA aims at the holistic development of children and young people by promoting their access to basic human and children's rights. This way, they are enabled to deal with the challenges of the future and to take on responsibilities in their families, social communities and societies. We currently coordinate various children's rights projects in Mali, Togo, Benin and Cameroon.
