Children (up to 18) and young people (between 18 and 25)
Terre des Hommes Switzerland and its partners work with all those who can play a role in improving the living conditions of children. For example, we work with parents, teachers, local authorities and any other natural or legal person involved in the child’s environment.
Partner organizations
In line with our desire to help strengthen local players and work with a long-term perspective, we rely on solid partnerships with associations with strong local roots that are not service providers carrying out the TdH Suisse program.
TdH Suisse provides technical support to partner organizations with a view to strengthening institutions and operations, and improving the quality of their actions in favor of children and young people with a view to long-term autonomy.
