Terre des Hommes Netherlands
International NGO from the Netherlands
Founded in 1965, Terre des Hommes Netherlands is working to realize a world in which children are no longer exploited. Child exploitation is about serious violations of the rights of the child. The definition of Terre des Hommes Netherlands covers worst forms of child labour, child trafficking, sexual exploitation of children and child abuse. Terre des Hommes Netherlands prevents child exploitation, removes children from exploitative situations and ensures these children can develop themselves in a safe environment. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child forms the basis of the work of Terre des Hommes Netherlands. The organization offers help without discrimination against race, religion, gender or political inclination. Nowadays 33 employees in The Netherlands, 78 local colleagues in four regions and over 1,800 volunteers in the Netherlands are dedicated to stopping child exploitation. They are, in turn, supported by tens of thousands of donors and companies. Terre des Hommes Netherlands is a member of the Terre des Hommes International Federation: a network of ten national organizations working for the rights of children. Together, the ten members are active in 68 countries.

Payments to the organisation reported by the aid agencies of 17 countries (USAID, FCDO, BMZ, Sida and others) in their own IATI data, converted to euros at the year's average rate. They include funds passed on to local partners. Not all donors name the recipient of their payments, so figures may be incomplete; EU funds are in their own section.
