Governments need NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations) to do
the research, the footwork and to uncover neglected areas of
need. Once discovered, these needs need to be brought to the
attention of the local authorities, and necessarily to the motivation
of the budgeting authorities. This takes years, in some
instances, and more than often it takes a heck of a fight...but success is
inevitable in the end.
Key Benefits for Society
- Society is served information of a different kind to that which
governments want the people to hear.
- The people campaigning are passionate about their subject and will
probably not let off simply because it embarrasses government.
- A campaign may cost, say, $20 000--and once government and the
public start reacting positively to it the long term results can
improve millions of people's standard of living. This is
probably the most cost-effective way of making the planet a better
place for all inhabitants -- we call it public education and
government mobilisation.
Capabilities
- Experience
- Theosis has 10 years experience is campaigning and meeting statutory
bodies and Govt. officials in the quest. Our successes are not
as numerous as they are impressive--and now we are only gathering
steam as we learn how to also utilise the internet as well;-)
- Technical ability
- It is not really as impressive as it may sound but besides our other
abilities we also have digital video, CD-making, printing and some
photographic abilities to our credit. We need resources though,
if we are to become one of the major consciences of society, the way
we plan to do.
- Multi-national
- Theosis operates from a multi-national front which presently
includes members in western Europe, UK, USA, Southern Africa and South
America.
