The Convention on the Rights of the Child, constitutes the conceptual framework guiding TDH activities
The Humiliza Project involved the production of a manual that should enhance the capacity of any adults to listen and to talk to orphans or children of terminally sick parents and to understand better their situation and their needs. In such a way, the community improves its capacity to cope with some consequences of AIDS. The main objective of the manual is to improve the capacity of the community to deal better with some consequences of HIV/AIDS. The manual is available on the web (see http://www.terredeshommes.ch/humuliza/manual/manual_titel.html)
