Dachser and terre des hommes expand cooperation

Dachser and the international children's aid organization terre des hommes want to expand their long-standing joint social commitment in the regions of South Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America.

For each of the three project regions - South Asia, Southern Africa and Latin America - Dachser will provide funding of EUR 200,000 per year over the next five years.

New projects in India and Nepal
Dachser and terre des hommes have been working together in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh since 2005: Among other things, almost 32,000 children there have been informed about their rights against violence, child labor and sexual exploitation. Over 18,000 children have been prepared for regular school attendance and 5,400 young people, mainly girls, have learned simple crafts such as tailoring, sewing or weaving in order to earn their own money and support their families financially.

"If you really want to make a difference in development cooperation, you need staying power and deep roots of social commitment in the local communities," says Bernhard Simon, CEO of Dachser. "Then we do what is really needed. terre des hommes and its local partners ensure that youth and women's groups can articulate their concerns and, with our support, work for the socially and ecologically sustainable development of their local community."

Central motto: "Helping people to help themselves"
The joint grassroots projects are organized according to the principle of "helping people to help themselves": the focus is on the fight against human rights violations, in particular all forms of violence against children and women, the commitment to a clean environment and the training of young people, especially girls and young women, and their support in gainful employment. The projects supported pay particular attention to climate protection and corresponding compensation measures, as developing and emerging countries in particular play a decisive role in the fight against climate change.
