Since its creation, our organization deployed to over 50 countries to the benefit of millions of affected civilians and of 350 NGOs per year on average. Thank you for making a donation to help us continue supporting victims of humanitarian crises worldwide.

Télécoms sans Frontières is sending a team to Peru to implement wireless communications in the areas where earthquakes destroyed both communication infrastructure and power lines for electricity. These communications are vital for the supply of relief to those who are suffering. I visited their web site and see that they do fine work. I like their focus on helping victims of humanitarian crises rather than just pushing technology for its own sake. I'd urge those of you with a communications and technology interest to visit their web site, learn about them and see if you can donate in support of their fine work. Many thanks!
