3. A half-century behind us – and ahead
For Terre des hommes, 2010 was a year of cruel paradoxes. We celebrated our 50 th anniversary whilst
bringing aid to the children of Haiti who had escaped one of the worst earthquakes in history. In the midst
of this work in the field, we also had to plan the strategies we want to follow up to 2015.
Let›s mention Haiti first of all, because many people have wanted to criticise the humanitarian aid given
there. From the very beginning, our teams mobilised their forces, and reinforcements set out. more than
80,000 disaster-stricken people were given shelters, vital commodities, water points. Our colleagues
brought services – in particular sanitation – to the outlying regions, to save the families there making a
new exodus to the major roads and to the overcrowded camps. Visits made to and good relationships
with some fifty orphanages and schools made it possible to protect a thousand youngsters better against
exploitation and trafficking.
In parallel, together we decided on our strategy plan for over thirty countries for the five years ahead. Faced
with growing inequality, with climatic instability and natural disasters, faced with disregard for children,
Tdh sets up the most sustainable outcome possible. We focus our activities in eight domains for children
and their communities. From now on we will be advocating six causes, chosen from our experience and
know-how. Our simplified strategic plan is available in the three Swiss national languages and in English,
Arabian and Spanish.
Nearly seventy events marked our 50 th anniversary celebrations, in Switzerland and abroad. Donors, vol-
unteers, Tdh employees – once more they made all the difference: all of them contributed to changing the
everyday life of 1.4 million children and their families, and we are more than grateful to them.

The procedures for prevention and protection in-
clude an alert mechanism, internal enquiries and, where
necessary, the transfer of a case to the police of the
country concerned. During the meticulous processing
of these cases, the child’s interest is always our central
concern. Tdh continues to work towards the worldwide
implementation of this child protection policy, and
provides specialised training for Tdh personnel and for
the personnel of partner organisations.
In 2010 three alleged breaches of the child protec-
tion policy were reported in three countries.
