Strengthening future generations together

The Terre des Hommes Community Foundation is designed to last in perpetuity and offers continuity in its work. Some foundations are centuries old and still fulfill the wishes of their founder today. Donations to the Terre des Hommes Community Foundation are possible starting from €1,000.
