This is Siti
She is 10 years old and up till last year, she worked on a garbage dump in Jakarta, Indonesia. Every day, she looked for recyclable materials such as plastic bottles to make some money. Terre des Hommes is committed to stop this kind of child exploitation. Together with a local partner, Terre des Hommes helps children like Siti to go back to school. Young people are given the opportunity to follow vocational training which gives them a chance of a better future. Parents receive information about the importance of education. For Siti, the support of Terre des Hommes has helped out a lot: instead of working at a garbage dump, she’s now working on a promising future at school.
Education
Education gives children a chance to have a better future. In school, they learn to think independently, make their own choices and stand up for themselves. As a result, they are no longer so susceptible to abuse by others. Terre des Hommes ensures that children can go to school and develop their potential.
Within the Terre des Hommes programme ‘Education' we make sure that children have access to good quality education. The Mathagondapalli Education Centre (MEC) in India, for example, enables five hundred children to follow a revolutionary education programme. They are taught to think for themselves and make their own choices. This enables them to improve their own living conditions in the future.
