Tdh Projects on the field

Tdh Countries of intervention

• Albania

  

  Terre des hommes is actively engaged in the prevention of child trafficking in Albania through prevention campaigns, schooling programs and social support at a communal level as well as by the repatriation and social or family reinsertion of children.

• Kosovo

  

  In Kosovo, Tdh is the sole NGO committed to the development of a program in the sector of Juvenile Justice.

• Moldova

  

  In Moldova the newest delegations opened in 2004. Tdh and its partners (UNICEF, DDC and OSCE) found there situations of recognized migration and child trafficking, in particular towards Russia, and set up the FACT project (Fight Against Child Trafficking), giving priority to prevention and assistance at a local level, in villages with a depressing lack of security, where the children are at serious migratory risk.
