THE THOMSON FOUNDATION
|
The Thomson Foundation is an international media for development NGO which exists to improve communication around the world. Its mission includes: - Strengthening civil society by working with partner organisations in over a hundred countries to provide information on key global issues like poverty, climate change and HIV/Aids;
- Working to ensure the voice of the disadvantaged is heard: the poor, children, women and marginalised groups;
- Fostering balanced debate on major issues of public concern - subjects like health, environment, gender and education.
We meet our aim of achieving change and developing capacity by working across all the mass media; identifying new areas of work; reinforcing partnerships with people who think like us; and producing material to support our work, for journalists and for civil society .
