Africa
In some African countries, malnutrition among children and access to quality health care are major challenges. Poverty drives young people to migrate, exposing them to many risks on their way. Once they arrive at their destination, they may become victims of exploitation or find themselves in conflict with the law. Terre des hommes (Tdh) improves children's health, accompanies and protects migrant children and fights for alternatives to detention for minors. We train professionals to provide adequate support and advocate for policy solutions that respect children's rights.
