Africa
In Africa, malnutrition in children and access to quality healthcare remains a challenge. Many young people migrate due to poverty and are exposed to different risks during their journey. At their destination, they often fall into the trap of exploitation or get into conflict with the law. Terre des hommes (Tdh) improves the health of children, accompanies child migrants to protect them and fights for alternatives to child detention. We train professionals to provide adequate support and advocate for political solutions respecting children’s rights.
