The campaign and its message

Invest in sound values
With a wealth of 50 years' experience, Terre des hommes is the most important Swiss organization for child aid. In over 34 countries around the globe, we plan and realize projects in the fields of health care and child protection. Our innovative approaches with feasible and sustainable solutions allow us to improve the lives of 1.5 million children and their families. The necessary financial means comes from private and institutional donors. 85% of the donations go straight to help carry out more than 100 concrete projects.



Invest in genuine prospects
Exposed to abuse, exploitation and destitution, they can do no more than survive from one day to the next. Terre des hommes is actively committed on the spot so that these children can escape The everyday life of many children in need of protection is very far removed from being happy. from the spiral of distress in which they find themselves and find their way back to a normal life, free of fear. Special programs and projects allow us to help them with basic needs, but also to give them back something essential: a smile and the possibility of being... just a child.


Invest in a decent life and a future for them
Terre des hommes is active in promoting child protection in very diverse sectors. We offer children in a street situation an alternative way of life; we undertake to give exploited and abused children a new chance, to help them get their confidence back - in themselves and in their surroundings. We open new perspectives to the victims of child prostitution. And we are working for children, sentenced to jail for petty offences, to be given an alternative to imprisonment.



A lasting investment
What fruit does your investment bear?

We also take preventative measures for their protection by making their parents, local villagers, community representatives, social services, etc., aware of the dangers. We work ceaselessly - help us to help! Invest for a year and change the lives of many children in distress.


I am an investor
My name is Yann Croset, I am 35, and work in a bank. I live in Zurich. And I am an investor in Terre des hommes. As the father of a little girl, child protection is naturally close to my heart. But it isn't only for this reason that I became an investor; it is also because I am convinced of the good work of Terre des hommes. My donation is invested to realize concrete projects; I know that it is going straight to the people concerned and that I am personally giving a chance to many underprivileged children. I am proud of this and happy. As investor, father and man.
