To protect children from all forms of violence or abuse, to ensure every child’s right to health, education and life: this is the mission of Terre des Hommes ever since 1960, when a group of people urged by Edmond Kaiser gave birth in Lausanne to what is currently one of the largest global movements for the defense of child rights.

TDH Italia envisions a world in which every child can grow up free from violence, exploitation, abuse, and hunger, can receive appropriate medical care and education, without being discriminated on the basis of religion, ethnicity or politics.
