About Friends of Telecom Without Borders Inc

Friends of Telecom without Borders (FTWB) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We support the mission of the international NGO Télécoms sans Frontières (TSF). TSF was founded in 1998 as the world’s first NGO focusing on emergency-response technologies. During humanitarian crises TSF gives affected people the possibility to contact their loved ones and begin to regain control of their lives. In parallel, TSF builds rapid-response communications centres for local and international relief workers. From its early days, this has been core to TSF identity, but throughout the years, TSF’s activities have evolved to adapt its solutions to support vulnerable groups in a wide range of rapid-onset disasters and long-term humanitarian crises.
