› Financial support ‹

Money will be transferred after the projects have submitted their budget requests and after approval by the TSP board. To monitor expenditure TSP requires bills and photographs to be submitted, subject to control. This process is guided by our dedicated Tajik monitors, Khuseynjon Fayzullaev in Lakkon and Muzaffar Muzafarov in Dushanbe. This strategy guarantees a correct and meaningful use of the donated money.

› Stimulating knowledge transfers ‹

TSP tries to link the Tajik projects with sister institutions in the Netherlands. There is a great need to be updated with the newest insights and treatment methods. In this respect TSP collaborates with Global Intiative on Psychiatry (GIP). In 1980 GIP kick-started the reform process within the psychiatric institutions of the former Soviet Union. Together with GIP, TSP donates translated professional literature, organizes courses and study trips and supports a mini farm in Lakkon hospital.

› Consignments of goods ‹

Occasionally TSP organizes small transports of goods, with the support of ORA Netherlands (Orphans and Refugee Aid). This concerns materials that are desperately needed and not available in Tajikistan, for example therapeutic play materials and solar panels.
