Missions

The migration crisis at the European Union border between Croatia and Bosnia is worsening. TSF has started its operations in collaboration with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) to provide internet connectivity in the Bira shelter opened by IOM in October 2018.

TSF offers priority calls to Venezuelan refugees in Brazil in response to the one of the biggest migration crises in South American history.

In the Amazon rainforest, sanitary conditions jeopardize the health of isolated communities. TSF supported the telehealth project initiated by the Federation of Indigenous Organizations of Rio Negro (FOIRN) by connecting 4 primary centres dedicated to maternal and child healthcare.

On 11 March 2011 an earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter scale triggered a tsunami in North-East Japan, with 10-metre waves ravaging the coastal areas and causing the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, with the explosion of the reactor of the Fukushima power station. The destruction of infrastructure, the shortage of fuel, and many power cuts to the capital make the situation extremely complex. TSF deployed from its base in Bangkok to provide its emergency communications facilities. The mission drew to a close due to the high risk of the nuclear alert.
