WHAT WE DO GLOBALLY AND IN EUROPE

Terre des hommes Foundation (Tdh), with headquarters in Lausanne and an office in Zurich, is the leading Swiss organisation for child rights. In 2022, we supported 2.6 million children and members of their communities around the world. We trained people who in turn supported a further 4.5 million children and members of their communities.

 

Terre des hommes Regional Hub in Hungary which was established in 2006, provides support and advice tot he other Tdh offices in Europe and plays a central role in leading the organisation’s regional projects, implemented in collaboration with a wide range of partners. In addition, from April 2022, we have also implemented an emergency response to help Ukrainian refugee children and families in Hungary.

In Europe, our collective efforts focus on two key programmatic areas: ensuring respect for the rights of children and youth on the move and contributing to a safe, restorative, and inclusive access to justice for children and youth. Integral to all our activities is the pivotal role of child protection expertise.

 

We facilitate these endeavours through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated team of more than 50 professionals in child protection, migration, justice, management, monitoring and evaluation, communication, human resources, finance.

BACKGROUND

The Building Bridges Project: Enhancing Rights and Opportunities for Ukrainian Refugees in Romania and Hungary (18-month project) focuses on three locations in each country, namely Bucharest, Brasov, and Constanta in Romania; and Budapest, Győr and Debrecen in Hungary.

 

The main target groups are Ukrainian refugees, with specific attention to children and youth under 25 years old.

 

Tdh's proposed project paves the way for a shift from emergency response to empowering resilience and building stronger asylum and migration management structures in Hungary and Romania.
