Missions

To contribute to community resilience in the face of disasters in Central America, TSF is implementing resilient connectivity solutions in centers identified for their ability to provide assistance to vulnerable people during crises.

Within the framework of operational partnerships with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN), Télécoms Sans Frontières is the go-to organisation for providing technical expertise and training workshops on the application of emergency telecommunications in the humanitarian context.

TSF supported relief teams and local authorities, as well as the thousands of people affected on the island of Dominica by Hurricane Maria from 20th September 2017 to 18th February 2018.

TSF developed an information diffusion system for the protection of migrants in transit and asylum seekers in Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia.

TSF supports the Mexican association FM4 Paso Libre in a project offering humanitarian calls and setting up a registration system for migrants hosted in the FM4 centre in Guadalajara.

Heavy rains at the end of 2007 caused severe floods that affected several communities in northern and eastern Bolivia. In addition to the 48 fatalities and 5 missing, more than 40,000 families were affected and depended on humanitarian aid. OCHA requested that TSF provide IT and telecom support to UNDAC teams assessing the needs of survivors. Two coordination centres were also connected by TSF in La Paz and Santa Cruz.
