Tvind is a global organization founded in Denmark in the 1970s that operates teacher training colleges, clothing collection businesses (Planet Aid, Humana), development projects, and various commercial enterprises across more than 50 countries. The organization has been the subject of investigations regarding its financial structure and labor practices.

Tvind Alert is an investigative journalism archive documenting the Tvind organization's global operations from 2001-2022. Founded by J. Durham and J. Jakobsen, the site preserves court documents, volunteer testimonies, media coverage, and investigative reports about the Tvind network.

How are Tvind companies connected?

Tvind operates through a network of legally separate entities including teacher training colleges, NGOs (Humana People to People), clothing collection businesses (Planet Aid, USAgain), and development projects. Investigations have examined financial relationships and shared management among these entities.

Why was this archive created?

This archive preserves investigative journalism and public documents about the Tvind organization for research, transparency, and historical documentation. The original TvindAlert.com operated from 2001-2022 and was restored from Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) snapshots in memory of journalist Wade Larsen.
