Welcome to Your District Network Center

Our Purpose .. To Connect Resources with Projects.

We have gathered data over the last 16 years from tens of thousands of projects which have been completed in more than 200 countries and geographic regions, involving hundreds of resource providers, shippers, and project funders. We want to make it EASIER for all to access that knowledge base and new resources to make their projects more successful. Our Network and Country Resource Guides connect resources with projects.

The Network during 2008 started as a continuation of PDG Jim Johansen's Hands Across the Sea Project. As we collected information from many Project Managers, NGOs, Nonprofits, Foundations, and others engaged in International Humanitarian Projects and Programs, it evolved into a place for projects to connect with resources. A place for all to connect, collaborate, and partner for the greater good of those that all seek to help.

Here are a number of the TOOLS that we have developed and have started to implement to really have an IMPACT. It should be noted that not all understand The NETWORK, it's purpose, and its objectives. That is fine. We choose to only work with Organizations that share our vision and understand that Connecting and Collaborating with The Network can and will impact those that they serve.

Data Collection Programs

This is one of the keys to our online success. We are able to collect all kinds of data, store it, analyze it, classify it, and then provide the information needed to conduct projects. Using "relational databases" information can be broken down into nearly every category imaginable and easily allows NETWORK members to find the help they are looking for.

The Project Matrix Tools for Projects

The purpose of the matrix is to provide a guide to those that conduct international humanitarian projects. Using the Matrix with save clubs time and money developing their projects. Simply follow the guideline outlined within the Matrix and you'll find all the help you need in the NETWORK

The 3 main issues. Resources * Shipping * Funding

√ Use cost-effective co-op shipping programs through Federal Express and their subsidiary, The Tower Group which allows Network members to take advantage of the thousands of project shipments made each year.
