Wednesday, November 19, 2014 : 11:34 AM - 11:42 AM

Hans Guyt, Head of Campaigns and Special Projects , Campaign and Special Projects, Terre des Hommes-Netherlands, Netherlands, Netherlands
Terre des Hommes supports, professionalises and works in cooperation with local project partners who are familiar with the needs of the children and the problems in the local community. That is why we have four regional offices: in Jakarta (Indonesia), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Nairobi (Kenya) and Cochabamba (Bolivia). Cooperation with local project partners takes place from these regional offices. Each regional office is headed by a regional director, who is also in charge of the various national offices.

We work on the basis of four programmes: exploitation, education, health and socio-economic development. These programmes are reflected in over 250 projects that we support in 15 countries (and emergency aid in 2 countries). This approach requires close cooperation between the four regional offices and the local project partners.

The film sweetie is cutting edge and used to identify people who are exploiting children
