About this site                    Revised July 2003

This site is about a vast organisation - Tvind.

You have probably never heard of it, or more likely you know it by another name   -  Humana People to People for example, or Planet Aid.    In fact, we have counted at least 30 other names you might know it by - you can read a list here.

'Tvind' is at heart a political movement founded in 1970 by the Danish political activist Amdi Petersen.   It is now worldwide.    It runs an international aid and volunteering organisation, Humana People to People, an Aids-relief trust, many clothes recycling enterprises, schools and colleges.

But Amdi Petersen is currently on trial in Europe on $24 million (£15 million) fraud charges.  Several of his charities are under investigation by police or tax authorities in various countries.    Charges for fraud, embezzlement or money laundering are so far pending against 13 senior managers.

This site is an attempt to find out whether Tvind really can make any claim to be a bona-fide charity, or whether it is actually a commercial enterprise, a secretive political movement, or even a cult.  This is not an idle inquiry.   Tvind is very rich indeed, and it continues to collect millions of dollars and to recruit young people as willing volunteers - just as if nothing untoward had happened.

The site was the idea of UK journalist Michael Durham, who launched it on the Internet in 1999.  Three years on, tens of thousands of people have accessed the information here, contributed their own stories and opinions, and helped compile a significant dossier.

 It is not a 'hate' site or a 'revenge' site, nor is it run by embittered former staff or participants - it is an inquiry.    We may not have answered every question, but now the world knows a lot more.  You can come to your own conclusions.    But we believe it is high time there was a proper international inquiry into Tvind's vast empire.
