Afghanistan
More than 1.2 million Afghans were forcibly displacement by conflicts, droughts or deportations from Pakistan and Iran. Terre des hommes (Tdh) provides humanitarian assistance and protection to these highly vulnerable children and families who often do not have access to basic services such as water or education. Tdh also supports young people in contact or conflict with the law by promoting alternative measures to detention and by proposing activities in juvenile rehabilitation centres.
