Afghanistan
After decades of conflict, basic services are at a minimum. Families have been displaced and don't have access to drinking water, education or health services. Terre des hommes improves the health of displaced children and mothers and helps young people in difficult situations. We also help children in the justice system by providing access to fair justice, protection and child rights.
What we do
Mother and child health
Rural development
Juvenile justice

Where we work
Supported by
The European Union (EU), composed of the Member States and the European Commission, is the world’s biggest aid donor. The Commission’s EuropeAid co-operation office manages EU external aid programmes and implements development assistance worldwide. EuropeAid works in close collaboration with its partners to ensure coherence, complementarity and coordination in its assistance programmes. EuropeAid currently supports the projects of Terre des hommes against violence towards children (in Afghanistan and in Burkina Faso), for food security (in Burkina Faso) and for child protection and rights (in Brazil, Burundi and in Haiti). (Situation 04.11.2016)
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is Switzerland’s international development cooperation agency within the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA). By providing financial means, it supports more than forty projects of Terre des hommes in several geographical regions. Terre des hommes cooperates directly with the SDC, particularly with the departments Regional Cooperation, Humanitarian Aid and Cooperation with Eastern Europe.

Tdh cooperates in numerous areas with the UN. Although UNICEF is our principal cooperation partner, UNHCR, UNDP, and ILO-IPEC also support some of our projects.
