The year 2024 marks a critical point for international cooperation and the commitment to children's rights. While the DE-FACTO resolution of the US Development Authority "USA" life and the future of millions of children alone, we are also experiencing a process of dwindling solidarity in Germany and the European Union-among other things in three areas that have a direct impact on the well-being of children: firstly, in increasingly hardened resentment against the inclusion of refugees; Second, in a debate about the abolition of the German and the European Supplier Act; And thirdly, through the plans to drastically shorten state funds for international development cooperation.
"In view of the numerous humanitarian crises such as Sudan, in Myanmar or in the Sahel, we need significantly more means to provide help there too."
Where there are other, previously reliable partners or their commitment, it is more important for us to stay firmly at the side of the children and young people. We are all the more grateful for the high willingness to donate last year: Total donation income of 27.48 million euros means a significant increase compared to the previous year (2023: 22.94 million) and a similarly high donation result as 2022 (27.99 million).
Thanks in particular to the strong support of recent years Terre des Hommes has been able to maintain or even expand the scope of its project work for and with children, despite an increasingly challenging environment. With €40.5 million – the highest level of funding ever in our organization's history – we supported a total of 416 projects in 2024. Most of these projects were in Latin America (97), followed by South Asia (95), Africa (78), Europe (73), Southeast Asia (50), and the Middle East and North Africa (23).
