Every child in the world has the right to a childhood. It’s that simple.

Who we are

Founded in 1960, Terre des hommes (Tdh) is the leading Swiss organization for children’s aid.

Tdh Bangladesh has been operational in the country since 1974, delivering successful relief, recovery, and development projects, and since 2017, it has been responding to the Rohingya refugee crisis in Cox’s Bazar. In Bangladesh, Tdh focuses on supporting disadvantaged and marginalized children and youth, including those living in informal settlement, rural or remote areas, and insecure regions.

Terre des hommes Bangladesh also work with children affected by migration, those in contact with the law, and those at high risk of disease with limited access to quality healthcare. Through our programmes, we engage parents, caregivers, community members, professionals, and policymakers to create lasting change and uphold the rights of every child.
