We believe that governments can be corrupt.
NGO's on the other hand, often run on budgets that are given directly by people who believe, that there must be some more accountable force willing to help humanity than can be found in the short term designs that many governments employ.
For this reason, we believe that NGO's must live to a higher standard of accountability, as they are entrusted to do.

Therefore, we publish here some guidelines, not at all complete, but what strikes us as obvious.

Guidelines for Consideration:
1. An NGO's first committment must be service to the people, and direct efficient delivery of aid moneys in a fashion that invests in the community in physically visible ways, for the long term good of that community. If a passerby is to walk into the target communities and ask them what the NGO has done, then it should be readily visible, and the longer the NGO has been involved, the more that should be visible, particularly RECENT results. Villagers should be able to adequately identify this aid.

2. NGO aid moneys spent IN the communities they are vested to serve, must be larger than the moneys they spend to GET that aid to the communities.

3. Target communities should NOT be lacking in the most basic of life's need. If a village is starving, it is not being helped, no matter how much aid money has been spent.

4. Communities should have sufficient nutrition for mothers and infants and Children.

5. Communities should have clean water, toilets with a water supply, built to last.

6. For disease prone areas, all villagers MUST be sleeping under a mosquito net. Let us repeat that, if YOU have an NGO working in a region of the world where there is MALARIA, ALL VILLAGERS IN THE VILLAGES THAT ARE IN YOUR TARGET AREA WILL BE SLEEPING UNDER A FUNCTIONAL, REPAIRED, SECURE MOSQUITO NET. If they are not, simply put, you need to get the hell out of the village.

7. YOUR NGO must address the most basic health needs of the villages in the target area. Malaria, intestinal upset, fever, handicapped, injuries, maternal, neo-natal and early childhood to name a few.

8. YOUR NGO must facilitate identification of health emergencies and transport to the nearest medical facility for treatment. As you would like it in your home country for yourself. Otherwise, you have no need for funding for your NGO vehicles. Period.

9. If there is action on the part of individuals, agencies, NGO's or others, that is directly or indirectly bringing injury, disease, starvation or death on individuals, it is YOUR job to REPORT it and PUBLISH. To fail to do so is a crime. To DELAY to do so is a crime. If you can not publish the information on your website, you MUST publish the information in an anonymous manner that can still be readily found on the internet, with sufficient information detailing the events as to promote an inquiry into these same events and interdiction which will bring about an end to the imposed conditions which are harming the people. NO EXCEPTIONS. Fear that you may be identified or ejected from the country is NOT a satisfactory reason to withhold the information. NO doctor in the west, or social worker, who sees the abuse of a child or a people, is permitted to conceal that information from public inquiry. To do so is criminal, regardless of the personal risk that doctor may take by revealing the information.

10. Failure to take these required actions excludes you from the public trust, and may represent criminal responsibility on your part, and may make you an accessory to the crime before or after the fact.

11. Remedial: For those of you who don't know, events that resemble genocide, ethnic cleansing, or ethnocide, are included in this list.

We aren't kidding. Think about it

Common Disfunction
1. Failure to note health crisis in the villages.
2. Failure to note the immenent death of infants, children, elderly, handicapped due to disease, starvation, malnutrition, parasites, injuries or other causes.
3. Lack of VISIBLE aid in villages that your organization has been paid to work for years.
4. Villages with no mosquito nets. Forget the reason. We aren't intersted.
5. Villages with one or two items completed in the village after YEARS of NGO funding and involvement.
6. Villages with visible disease, injury or death but NO NGO PERSONNEL or INVOLVEMENT in those crisis.
7. Disfunctional toilets which are not repaired and do not have a water supply. 8. Non existent reporting in a village and no channels to report the needs of their village to the NGO in times of emergency, particularly related to infants and children or mothers in childbirth.
9. Villages with no visible food.
10. Villages which have no blankets
11. Villages with no visible first aid kit, or access to fever medication.
