Terre des hommes, also Terre des Hommes is an international children's rights charitable humanitarian umbrella organization under the aegis of the International Federation of Terre des Hommes , with independent organizations in Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Syria. It was founded in 1960 by Edmond Kaiser in Lausanne, Switzerland. The organization is named after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's 1939 philosophical memoir "Terre des hommes" . An important part of the TDHIF's work is as a consultant to the United Nations Economic and Social Council . Promoting the Convention on the Rights of a Child is an important activity of Tdh. Advocating for children’s rights, defending them, and spreading information are tasks which Terre des Hommes – to the aid of children considers a priority. TDHIF runs the two campaigns 'Destination Unknown' - Children on the Move and 'Children Win' - Changing the Game of Mega Sporting Events .
Two organizations are based in Switzerland. Besides Terre des Hommes Switzerland, there is the Lausanne based Tdh Foundation – child relief , which is known for its health and child protection operations implemented in more than 30 countries, including development projects – such as the long-term improvement of care in Benin or fighting against malnutrition in Bangladesh; as well as emergency aid – such as the tsunami-affected regions of Sri Lanka or in Haiti following the earthquake in January 2010.
