La Maison de Terre des hommes is not subsidised and needs 3.3 million Swiss Francs every year to save more than 200 children. Without public donations, it is impossible to pursue the mission.


La Maison de Terre des hommes hosts sick children, mostly from West Africa, who come to Switzerland for treatment. They live here and receive care before and after their hospital stay, until they go back home.
Since 1969...
The broad support and ongoing efforts enable 40 to 50 children to continuously stay in La Maison. Since 1969, over 9'000 children saved.
Children are transferred to Switzerland to undergo surgery in university hospitals, because their illness cannot be treated efficiently in their home countries. In La Maison, we offer a medical and homelike setting before and after their surgery.
Without you, nothing is possible.
