The organisation was founded in 2002 by the current Board and friends.

The BHCH is financed by the sponsoring of children, as well as private and institutional donations, and project contributions from charitable foundations. A sponsorship covers the living and educational expenses of a child. Additional donations make it possible to expand and maintain the facilities or fund extra expenses and projects. The organisation's board members all work on a voluntary basis.

The organisation is recognised as a non-profit by the tax authorities (Finanzamt) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Contributions for sponsorships, membership fees and donations are tax-deductible in Germany.

Sponsoring a child at BHCH provides the opportunity to have personal contact with the sponsored child which, over the years, can develop into a valuable and enriching experience for both the sponsor and the child. It is possible to visit the children at any time and get to know another culture.
