All you need to know about Tvind
Have
you ever dumped old clothes into a charity collection box in
a
supermarket car park, believing you were helping those less fortunate
than yourself? Was the bin operated by one of these companies?
|
Humana
People-to-People |
Then
you have just made a donation to a very large and wealthy corporation - one
regarded by many people not as a charity, but as a wealthy profit-making
multinational business. In some countries, it is even
regarded as a cult.
It's Danish, and it's called Tvind. The name comes from a place in western Denmark, but the Tvind movement long ago left its Scandinavian roots: today it is very rich, very powerful and truly international.
Its charismatic founder,
Amdi Petersen
(right)
originally proclaimed he would set the world's wrongs to right and preached
revolution, fellowship and sharing. As long ago as 1977 he dreamed up the idea of
collecting old clothes, and using the money raised by selling them to
finance charities.
But there is a problem: In 2002, Amdi Petersen was arrested by the FBI and charged with money laundering. When he was arrested, he had exclusive use of a $4 million luxury apartment in Miami and a $5m luxury yacht, the Butterfly McQueen.
Today he is back in Denmark, facing $25 million charity fraud charges.
Despite all this, Tvind continues to operate as if it is a proper charity, collecting old clothes all over Europe, the United States and Canada and selling them in developing countries. In fact, under about 60 different company names, Tvind controls an enormous share of the 'charity' used clothes market worldwide.

It
does much more: the same multinational runs fruit farms and
plantations, computer companies, furniture factories, and property
firms. It's big, very big.
And there and lots and lots of commercial, profit-making trading companies and offshore bank accounts.
There have been countless complaints about almost everything Tvind does. Some have been about its management, financial corruption, bullying and intimidation. Mostly, people have accused it of acting primarily for profit, not for charity.
And the way it is run, with an absolute leader and a secretive inner circle called the Teachers group, suggests to many people that it is a cult.
That is what this website is about.
For the last five years, journalists
in various countries have been
busy investigating Tvind,
trying to unravel a complex financial paper chase. It is a
puzzle that stretches from the Cayman Islands round the globe to Fiji,
and from Finland in the north to Zimbabwe in the south.
Here are some interesting facts about the Tvind clothes recycling companies that may help you, a member of the public, decide whether or not to make a contribution to a Tvind-run clothes bank:
In
Britain, Humana UK - the first Tvind clothes collector - was
closed down by the Charity Commission in 1997 for serious financial
impropriety.
It's successors, Planet Aid UK and Green World Recycling are not registered charities and cannot be regulated in any way. Clothes collected are probably sold to an offshore company within the Tvind empire.
And in the case of Green World Recycling, extravagant claims for environmental schemes made on clothes banks cannot be substantiated - the 'charity' Green World supports appears to be nothing more than a forwarding address in Switzerland.
In France, Humana stopped
collecting clothes in
around
1996, after the French authorities ruled
that Humana was a business and not a charity - and owed huge sums in
tax. (At about the same time, Humana France was declared a
cult by a committee of the French government.)
Over in Holland, an Amsterdam-based company called EC Trading mysteriously went bankrupt in 2000, even though there seemed no reason for a sudden dip in sales. Investigators have been trying to disentangle the disaster since.
It turned out that EC Trading was a Tvind company that had for years been buying clothes from Humana and UFF clothes banks all over Europe. The sudden bankruptcy left other suppliers seriously out of pocket, but probably didn't do any harm to Tvind. (The company's manager, Flemming Gustaffson, fled to Mozambique and was on the run for some time after tax authorities in Hungary came to interview him.)
And
in Belgium too, Humana is in trouble. Six members of
the Teachers Group based in the country are currently under investigation by Belgian prosecutors for possible
money laundering. (Humana in Belgium has also been listed by a government committee as a possible
cult.)
Over in North America, investigations into U'SAgain, Gaia, Planet Aid and a commercial trader, Garson and Shaw, have been slower in coming. But in Canada, the Toronto Star reported in 2000 that Planet Aid had not given a single cent to charity over two years.
In the USA, public spirited Americans and whistleblowers from within the Tvind companies in Chicago, Atlanta and Seattle have been providing a stream of information to this web site showing the close links and methods of the four companies and indicating many serious causes for concern.
We expect extensive coverage in the American press soon. And we remain confident that business and tax authorities will soon mount a proper investigation.
Much information about all this is available on this website. And remember that charity clothes banks are only part of the picture - there are also detailed disclosures about the Tvind schools, colleges, farms, plantations, companies, finances and offshore accounts in different sections of this website.
If you have a story to tell or information about Tvind to pass on to the webmaster, please write to us here.
This is a voluntary non-profit website. If you have found this website interesting, informative or disturbing, please draw it to the attention of others. And please make a donation to our Internet charges and other costs. Thanks.
