Tribal Networks News

This project was a great lesson in what really happens when you set up a standard corporate NGO. It’s really complicated and I now fully understand a lot of the corruption that goes on in the “charity” world. To be honest, if I was working in that environment, having to do the boring bureaucracy that those folks have to do, making up meaningless jargon just to get grants and going along with what the grant givers demand instead of what the people need, I would want huge wages for doing it too.

Anyway, in the spirit of bypassing the middlemen, and making sure that 100% of the senders’ money ends up in the hands of the recipients we now have clickforcharity.net. Please visit there to find out more.

Tribal Networks is an international organization based in Ireland. Our primary aim is to provide modern communications in remote parts of the world. We believe that with modern communications and proper training, the people we work with will be able to solve many of their problems without the need for continued assistance from aid agencies. By doing things themselves, and finding the right people to help them do so, they will regain self-respect and rebuild an attitude of self-reliance which will enable them to find solutions to problems that fit their own ways of life and avoid dependency on others.

At the same time, they will have the opportunity to make contact with people around the world, enabling cultural exchange on their own terms, and as equals.
