Annual Report 2022
Osnabrück, June 27, 2023 – The international children's rights organization terre des hommes reports a revenue of approximately 45.4 million euros for the year 2022.
The income comes primarily from donations totaling over 30 million euros and co-financing from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development amounting to over 13 million euros. With these funds terre des hommes supported a total of 379 partner projects for disadvantaged and exploited children in 45 countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and Europe in 2022.
“The significant increase in donations compared to last year is primarily due to the €8.2 million rise in revenue for humanitarian aid benefiting the people of Ukraine and refugees in neighboring countries,” explained Joshua Hofert, spokesperson for the board of terre des hommes . “Despite our horror at Russia’s aggressive invasion of Ukraine, we were quickly able to find civil society partner organizations in Ukraine, neighboring countries, and Germany with whom we could launch relief efforts. It is particularly important to us that the aid for Ukraine did not come at the expense of our projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, which continue to need and receive our support. We are extremely grateful to our donors and supporters for this act of financial solidarity.”
The international community is facing a global systemic crisis stemming from armed conflicts, war-related displacement, and the devastating consequences of climate change. Only by working together can the necessary resources be raised and the necessary course set to combat this crisis, said Joshua Hofert. "We therefore expect the German government to ensure that funding for development policy, which exceeded €33 billion for the first time in 2022, is not reduced again under any circumstances. German development policy must increase its contribution to international climate finance to €8 billion annually by 2025 and serve the promotion of democracy and the rule of law across all ministries. Human rights must not be subordinated to economic interests.".
