Acting hand in hand to uphold and protect their rights
Children are the focus of our mission, vision and values because they are part of the present and represent the future. The world holds many threats: poverty, epidemics, armed conflicts, natural disasters, the climate emergency and so on, and children and young people are in the front line of greatest exposure to those dangers. They are entitled to be protected, supported and heard.
Terre des hommes has been working hand-in-hand with children for more than 60 years to win protection and respect for their rights, so that every child can avail themselves of their right to health, hygiene, education, security, justice, dignity and so on.
You have thought about it, talked about it, dreamt about it... Joining the ranks of Switzerland's leading organisation for children’s aid is an idea that appeals to you. The idea of getting up in the morning to defend a decent cause, to help children and young people, is something you feel is worthwhile, isn’t it?
Because like us, you aspire to a world where children’s rights, as enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, are fully respected. A world where children can grow up protected from danger, thrive in complete safety, and decide for themselves on the changes they want in their lives.
Why choose Terre des hommes?
It is Switzerland's leading organisation for children’s aid, established more than 60 years ago.
Some 2,400 people in Switzerland, in offices in 30 countries, and all over the world, are working each and every day to achieve lasting change and relieve the distress experienced by millions of children, their families and their communities.
