Nouvelles
- Télécoms Sans Frontières was founded in 1998 as the world’s first NGO focusing on emergency-response technologies. We enable people affected by humanitarian crises to communicate and regain a perspective on life. In a world disrupted by climate change and numerous complex crises, TSF contributes to community resilience in the context of natural and man-made disasters, conflicts, and migratory crises. To respond to these different crises and needs, we implement connectivity, information access, and digital inclusion solutions to benefit refugees, migrants, displaced persons, and anyone affected by a one-off or protracted crisis. Since its creation, TSF has been involved in over 150 major crises in more than 80 countries, providing communications to more than 11 million people and almost 1,000 NGOs.

- "I realized I could come across dangerous people, whereas before, I never paid attention to the profiles chatting with me." 👥 Tanjona, in Madagascar, realized the dangers she was facing when chatting with strangers online 👇 "I took part in the social networking awareness course and learned a lot about the dangers that can happen to me when talking to strangers." As a participant in a social networking awareness conference organized in a center TSF works with in Madasgascar, she learned safer ways to use social media: "I've changed my behavior via profiles that are a little suspicious and unknown in my network. Listening to the examples given at the conference, I know that everyone can invent their own profile behind the screen. I realized I could come across dangerous people, whereas before, I never paid attention to the profiles chatting with me."
