The objectives of TDH are to provide effective, rehabilitation and care for orphans and homeless children and medical treatment in the Netherlands. TDH mainly funds small scale projects in developing countries which strive to bring sustainable improvements in the local living conditions of children.
TDH also works to raise awareness and change attitudes and behaviour among the Dutch public, with a view to improving the position of children in need.
The aid provided by TDH to children in developing countries is underpinned by campaigns designed to place children’s rights in an international context.
