WHAT WE DO GLOBALLY AND IN EUROPE
Terre des hommes Foundation (Tdh), with headquarters in Lausanne is the largest international child rights NGO in Switzerland established over 60 years ago.
We operate in over 40 countries with over 100 projects of development aid and emergency impacting over 4 million beneficiaries annually. In Europe our direct assistance projects, strengthening systems and advocacy activities are primarily focused in the areas of access to justice and migration. Terre des hommes has seven offices established in Europe (Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Albania, Greece, and Kosovo,) and is also engaged in projects with partners from other European countries and beyond.
Terre des hommes Foundation in Hungary which was established in 2006, provides support and advice to the other Tdh offices in Europe and plays a central role in leading the organisation’s regional projects, implemented in collaboration with a wide range of partners. In addition, from April 2022, we have also implemented an emergency response to help Ukrainian refugee children and families in Hungary.
In Europe, our collective efforts focus on two key programmatic areas: ensuring respect for the rights of children and youth on the move and contributing to a safe, restorative, and inclusive access to justice for children and youth. Integral to all our activities is the pivotal role of child protection expertise.
