Which cause would you like to support?
Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, more than 250,000 children and their family members had to flee from violence since the Taliban have launched their offensive in May 2021. Children and women make out more than 80% of displaced people.
Children in humanitarian crises
Children are always the first victims of natural disasters and armed conflicts, experiencing separation, displacement, violence and forced conscription. You can help meet their basic needs and create opportunities for their future.
Health projects
16,000 children die every day before they reach of age of five. You can help reduce infant mortality and improve the well-being of mothers and children.
Iraq
Thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes due to the fighting in Iraq. Most of them live in makeshift shelters, in extremely precarious conditions. Help them to regain their dignity by supporting our work.
Protection projects
Too many children have to work to feed themselves and their families. Too many are exploited and abused. You can help get children out of work and into school.
Rohingya
More than 360,000 children who were victims to violence have found refuge in Bangladesh.
Sahel
It's an emergency. A severe food crisis is hitting the countries of the Sahel. Take action to protect children and their families from malnutrition. Your donation supports the detection, urgent treatment, and follow-up of malnourished children.
Specialized care
Tdh arranges for disadvantaged children to be transferred to Europe when they cannot be operated on in their country. These children are often suffering from heart disease and are treated and operated on in one of our partner hospitals. Each year 250 children benefit from this programme.
Syria
Half of all Syrian refugees are children. Millions have only experienced life in exile. You can help them have a childhood again and build them a brighter future.
Ukraine
Terre des hommes has been present in Ukraine since 2015 and is following with great concern the escalation in the country, which is already taking a heavy toll on children and young people, weakened by years of tension in the Donbass.

FAQ
What is MyTdh?
MyTdh is a fundraising platform created by Terre des hommes. Any individual, company or organisation can launch a fundraising campaign in honour of a special event and stand up for children.
Why launch a campaign?
The funds raised during the campaigns are collected for children in need. You can make a real impact to the lives of vulnerable children by supporting one of our projects. We run child health and child protection programmes for 2 million children and their families all over the world.
How does Terre des hommes use donations collected during the campaigns?
You can choose whether you prefer to donate the funds you raise with your campaign to a specific child relief project or let us invest your donation for you, based on our professional assessment of vulnerable children’s most urgent needs.
Tdh has been certified by the ZEWO Foundation. This means that Tdh guarantees your donations will be used fairly and honestly. Tdh spends 87% of all donations directly on projects – and therefore on children. Tdh minimises its administrative costs as far as possible.
What should I do if the cause I wish to support is not available on MyTdh?
To maximise the impact of MyTdh campaigns, we have chosen a number of major projects for you to support.
These may change during the year, depending on the current needs of the children we support.
If you do not to wish to support any of the selected causes, you can choose to provide general support: the money you raise will be directed to where children need it most.
How long does a campaign last?
You decide how long your campaign lasts. We recommend campaigns that last between two and five weeks.
How can I get my friends, family and colleagues involved?
You can invite your friends, family and colleagues to support your fundraising efforts.
Share your campaign on social media or by e-mail using the personalised link sent to you when you set up your campaign.
Together, you can make a real difference for children in need.
How can I become a MyTdh Champion
Without our campaigners, MyTdh wouldn't exist. To help you gain visibility and reach your objective, we have set up a gamification process. For every campaign, and every action taken by you or your donors, you will collect points that will help you reach different levels. You can reach three levels as a campaigner on MyTdh: ""MyTdh Friend"" which you become when you collect a minimum of 100 points, ""MyTdh Supporter"" when you reach 1000 points and ""MyTdh Champion"" when you get 3000 points.
How can I collect points on MyTdh?
Each and every action you take will help you collect points to reach the next level.
Here is a list presenting the value of the different actions: "Creation of your first campaign: 50 points Creation of any further campaign: 50 points Your first donation for your own campaign: 50 points For each comment you leave on your campaign ticker: 20 points Each time you uploads photos to your gallery: 10 points (per upload) Each time you share your campaign on social networks : 50 points When you share your campaign by email: 5 points per e-mail address When you reach 20% of your objective: 50 points When you reach 50% of your objective: 100 points When you reach 80% of your objective: 150 points When you reach 100% of your objective: 200 points When you are a company multiplying the donation by two: 50 points When one of your donators creates its own campaign: 50 points"
