German term

menschenwürdig

German to English Social Sciences International Org/Dev/Coop Humanitarian aid
Sentence: Diese Unterstützung gibt den Kindern die Chance auf eine menschenwürdige Zukunft.

Context: From a website describing the work of a charity which organises children's sponsorship programs. The point is that the children would have little hope of a future without this financial support.

The only thing I've come up with so far is "a decent future". Does anyone have any better ideas?
Thank you!
