Children’s health
At Terre des hommes, one of our priorities is to ensure that children and their mothers benefit from proper healthcare. As a result, we have launched a number of innovative projects in this field. They reflect our broader mission to improve access to medical care, water and sanitation in the most underprivileged communities worldwide.
Fields of intervention
MOTHER AND CHILD HEALTH
Healthy mothers are much more likely to have healthy children. We provide healthcare and advice to mothers during pregnancy and childbirth.
