The
Swiss Foundation of Terre des hommes (Tdh) with headquarters
in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the largest Swiss children’s
aid organization operating outside Switzerland. For 40 years,
the movement has been active wherever children are in need.
The movement follows the
Charta
of its founder, Edmond Kaiser, pledging to provide direct
and un bureaucratic assistance to children in distress, wherever
they may be. Resolute commitment and long-term experience
have led to Terre des hommes today playing a leading role
in the field of humanitarian aid at an international level.
With emergency action and long-term projects, Terre des hommes
is fighting for children’s rights in 30 countries, practicing
a strict policy of political, ideological and religious neutrality.
