New Ways of Doing Business in the Developing World

Schaffer & Combs launched new web properties today that have two radical aims.  The first is to introduce to North American and European philanthropists a new model (developed and managed by S&C) for the donor-recipient relationship, based on partnership, rigorous metrics, and flexibility.  http://tibafoundation.org/programs

The second innovation is a, sadly, unusual way of telling stories about people in impoverished regions.  The present model depicts nameless suffering.  We believe this is not only insulting, but no longer effective.  Our aim is to make the Tiba Foundation one of the few American NGO to tell the story, as part of its fundraising effort, of whole human beings in Africa, with names, families, homes, work, and successes as well as sufferings.
