WHAT WE DO IN EUROPE

Terre des hommes (Tdh) is the leading Swiss child relief agency. Founded in 1960, we are committed to improving the lives of millions of the world's most vulnerable children. Through our innovative protection and health projects, we provide assistance to over three million children and their families in almost forty countries each year. In Europe, Tdh intervenes directly in 7 countries, relying on teams based in Budapest, Albania, Greece, Kosovo, Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. Working closely with partners, Tdh intervenes indirectly in 16 other countries. The Regional Office in Budapest has been operating since 2006.

Child Protection Hub (www.childhub.org) develops a strong European community of practice and innovation among stakeholders who are contributing directly to the development and delivery of child protection services (professionals, academics, decision makers, experts, users). The project strategically articulates 3 types of interventions (knowledge management, capacity building and advocacy) around a regional network of professionals and agencies, supported by an online platform.

Child Protection Hub enables networking and professional cooperation among stakeholders in European countries. It increases opportunities for upgrading knowledge and skills and generates a process of continuous improvement of practices through training, peer-to-peer exchange, an online library or resources available in 8 languages.

The project is led by Terre des hommes’ Regional Office in Budapest and benefits from strong partners in 9 countries. The project was launched in January 2015. Today  the Child Protection Hub  has 5,000 members, a library of 22,000 resources, 5 online courses and 70 webinars organised.
