@AidFiles @sirmarklowcock you have unrivalled insight across the aid sector- would an interview possible for forthcoming doc ? here's hoping

@HeartInternet We were in constant contact with support. The site was offline for three days. What would a DM have done that your support team couldn’t

#colonialism is a point of discussion in #development. The argument is around donor superiority when the donors do not relate to reality on the ground. The privilege accorded to @UN staff in this airport seems to imply collusion in this deceit. @AidFiles

Christmas is a time for giving. But we don't always get it right. Psychotherapist Hannah Clarke reveals how good intentions sometimes lead to bad outcomes. Watch the video here: bit.ly/3DOSBKJ #mindfulgiving #thinkbeforeyougive #charity

A brilliant story from @SGathanga in @theelephantinfo about the 'Slums' of Mathare, Nairobi, Kenya. "...the world does not get to hear about our success stories, knowing only about our struggles and the challenges we go through." bit.ly/3IzG81d #socialjustice #Africa

Our latest project!
