The Kindernothilfe e.V., was founded in 1959 supporting five children in Kerala, India. The work of KNH grew in India as well as in other parts of the world, India having the largest number of children.

Negotiations for integrating the work of KNH with the Church in which it had most of the children under its fostership started in 1967. This culminated in the formation of the Council for Child Care, a body under the Synod of the Church of South India, to take over the responsibility of child care of KNH in the Hostels, Home and Orphanages under the management of the Diocese. CCCYC was thus established in the year 1969.

Kindernothilfe today works in more than 1017 Projects in 28 countries and supports and reaches 568,245 children.
