Education and Friendship for All Children beyond Borders

Kokkyo naki Kodomotachi (KnK, Children without Borders) is an international cooperation NGO established in Japan in 1997. As of the end of 2023, we have provided educational opportunities to more than 230,000 children in 15 countries (regions) and supported their independence. As of 2024, we continue to provide educational support in six countries and regions.

In 2017, the 20th anniversary of our founding, KnK reviewed our vision and mission and created a medium- to long-term strategic plan.

While inheriting our philosophy of "Growing Together," we will continue to work hard to deliver education and friendship to the children around the world.
