Combating marginalization and migration of vulnerable children

Active in Romania since 1992, Terre des hommes (Tdh) has been combating the trafficking and exploitation of particularly vulnerable children in Romania and has concentrated on children who may be migrants. In 2011, 2,860 people benefited from the activities implemented.

Terre des hommes (Tdh) has for many years been combating the trafficking and exploitation of particularly vulnerable children in Romania, concentrating mainly on children who are potential migrants because of poverty and marginalization.

Combating exploitation and trafficking

By putting in place a child protection network focused on children at risk in Craiova in the south of the country, Tdh is working in collaboration with institutions to prevent the scourge of child exploitation and trafficking. Tdh has assisted members of consultative community councils in five partner communities. Prevention campaigns and training mean that communities have a better understanding of their role in child protection.

Social protection and combating early school drop-out

Tdh is combating poverty, segregation and social exclusion of particularly vulnerable children, especially those in the Roma community, who live in extremely precarious conditions. A programme to prevent early school drop-out has involved the creation of five study centres that can accommodate around sixty children of primary school age.

Get up and MOVE

The improvement of psychosocial and methodological skills of activity leaders, teachers, sports coaches, and social workers enables the psychosocial development of children through games and sport.
