Guinea
In Guinea, children are particularly affected by poverty and their needs continue to be significant. Terre des hommes has been working there for 30 years with programmes for mother and child health, specialised care, water, hygiene and sanitation, and for access to justice. We have the advantage of strong partnerships and our activities place particular emphasis on close links with families and the beneficiary communities.
