Join the TEL network to propose and promote sustainable solutions, launch discussions, benefit from feedback, and exchange best practice tips.

TEL believes that sustainable gains against poverty can only be achieved through real and effective global cooperation and collaboration.

This Resources section, curated by our team, presents succinctly organized information about many of the myriad organizations and initiatives working around the world today whose mission involves either:

  • Fostering new technologies and innovative approaches, and/or
  • Introducing them where the need is greatest, sometimes in the face of considerable obstacles and hardship.

Concretely, TEL's Prizes for Ideas directories can help guide inventors, entrepreneurs, innovation leaders and students toward competitions, foundations and agencies that may provide public recognition and financial and other support for their endeavors. The more general Related Links section features a broad spectrum of organizations and initiatives, some not yet well-known, whose work complements TEL's mission of fostering and propagating high-impact, low cost solutions to problems of poverty.
