Terre des Hommes has been working to guarantee every child has a safe and enjoyable childhood, every young person feels empowered and every community we work with is engaged since 1960. Together with children themselves, we fight to ensure that child rights are respected in full, to protect children from harm and to influence any political agenda or strategy that effects children and young people – from the smallest local authority to the largest intergovernmental institution. The Terre des Hommes International Federation is a network of nine organisations with headquarters in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland (where we have two organisations – Terre des Hommes Switzerland and the Terre des Hommes Foundation in Lausanne).
