Terre des hommes Lausanne (Tdh)

Terre des hommes (Tdh) is a Swiss child welfare foundation established in 1960, dedicated to protecting children's lives and rights, and enhancing their well-being. The organization operates in over 30 countries, focusing on areas such as health, migration, and access to justice. Tdh has been active in Afghanistan since 1995, implementing projects in Kabul, Herat, and Nangarhar provinces. Their initiatives include child protection, addressing issues like child labor, trafficking, and abuse; mother and child health, where they train midwives to provide home visits and care for mothers and children, especially in areas with collapsing healthcare systems; and livelihood programs to support vulnerable families through economic empowerment initiatives. In August 2023, marking two years since the Taliban took power, Tdh highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by children, including limited access to education and medical care. For more information, Tdh's headquarters is located at Route des Plaines-du-Loup 55, CH-1018 Lausanne, Switzerland. You can contact them at +41 58 611 06 66 or via email at info@tdh.ch. Their website offers further details on their global impact and continued commitment to children's rights.
