Throughout the world, Terre des hommes employs more than 50 expatriates and over 1000 local personnel, in 30 delegations and 4 emergency relief programmes, and works with local partner organisations. In some cases, Terre des hommes works with a single partner and does not have a delegation in the strict sense: the management of our programme in such cases is assured by our partner’s directors.

In Switzerland, Terre des hommes benefits from a popular and well-established support base, with 52 Working Groups and Sections which include over 2,500 volunteers. These people invest their time and knowledge in activities to raise public awareness and funds, and provide one third of Terre des hommes’ budget.
