TDH Italia is an Italian non-governmental organization whose aim is to provide direct and immediate help to children in hardship.

TDH Italia is registered with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a relief and development agency. TDH Italia is one of the ten members of the Terre des Hommes International Federation (TDHIF) whose shared mission is to active support children in need around the world, free from ethnic, religious, cultural, political or gender discrimination.

The International Secretariat in Geneva and the Brussels office play a coordinating role. The Terre des Hommes Federation is accredited by the United Nations Economic and Social Council, UNICEF, ILO, IOM and Council of Europe, with which it collaborates to improve international policies for the protection of minors.
