Collaborators
Borderlands provides space, resources and support to a diverse range of Co-operators (NGOs). We work in partnership to ensure our collective range of knowledge, expertise and experiences brings mutual benefits to everyone involved; by sharing resources and information, supporting one another when faced with dilemmas, running forums and events together and most importantly, joining in friendship, solidarity and determination to create a better world!
Our market economy often prohibits many small NGOs from being sustainable and undertake their important work. By maintaining a commitment to maximising our resources with our collaborators, we not only support their work but also share in the joy and mutual benefits that cooperation brings.
Here's a snippet of information about our Collaborators, and you can visit their websites through our links page.
Students Partnership Worldwide
SPW is an international non-profit, non-government organisation working with young people in Africa and Asia, recruiting and training young adults (aged 18-28) as volunteer Peer Educators, to lead programmes that address urgent health and environmental issues in Africa and Asia.
New Community Quarterly
New Community Quarterly is an Australian journal of community development with a history spanning over twenty years. Their website provides information about 'New Community Quarterly', including subscriptions, contributions and availability of back issues as well as an archive of most of the previously published 'Community Quarterly' by issue and subject.
East Timor Women Australia
ETWA is a member-based volunteer organisation supporting women in East Timor. As long-standing friends of Borderlands, we recently decided to further utilise the resources (both material and intellectual) available at the Borderlands office. We’ve found the energy, support and acceptance of the Borderlands crew inspiring and the new computers have made our work so much easier! Probably the best thing about being at Borderlands is the way people freely share their knowledge and experiences, which for us ,new-comers to the world of international development, helps reconcile some of the dilemmas of working across oceans and cultures. As we try to integrate social and a market– based approaches to helping the women we work with in East Timor, the knowledge base at Borderlands helps us to do this with integrity and conviction. A massive thank you to all! Contact us: etwa@timorwomen.org or of course at Borderlands!
