Our work in Asia

Millions of children across Asia are being exploited. Terre des Hommes fights exploitation in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal, the Philippines and Thailand. 

We work towards systemic change. We nurture collaborative efforts to combat child exploitation. We address issues at the roots and facilitate protection, education, health care, livelihood and child participation.

Alongside lobbying with governments, we advocate for stricter implementation of laws and strengthen existing mechanisms for child protection.
