Local-led
Needs are defined by the organisation itself. We start from their priorities, scope small, test fast, transfer.
Ethics
Ethics first, for what lasts
Communication is a toolbox. A website, a campaign or a brand guide change nothing on their own. Communication only matters if it answers a real need and the team can use it.
Nomad Impact
Our four principles
Do no harm
We avoid actions that could harm people. If context shifts, we adapt or stop.
No job substitution
We don't replace a local role. We document, train and strengthen autonomy.
Transparency
Clear scope, identified tasks, estimated time, open communication at every step.
Our commitment
What we do, what we don't.
What we do
- Short, useful, well-transferred missions
- Capacity building: guides, checklists, tutorials, training
- Remote work by default, with short on-site presence only when meaningful
What we don't do
- Replace a local role or undermine fair pay
- Take part in orphanage 'voluntourism'
- Work with vulnerable groups without a formal safeguarding frame
- Move forward without consent, authorisations or safety measures
Safeguarding and consent
We commit to a safe working frame for all involved.
When stories, photos or testimonies are shared, we require informed consent and avoid identifying details.
For on-site work, we verify authorisations, insurance and a security contact.
Personal data and privacy
We limit data collection to what's necessary and store it securely.
Sensitive names are anonymised by default in public content.
Modification or deletion requests are always possible.
Pay, environment, conflicts of interest
Fair pay and solidarity model
Membership + mission budget. Some missions co-funded to stay accessible.
Environmental footprint
Remote or hybrid work. Travel only when truly useful, and validated.
Conflicts of interest
Any relationship that could affect impartiality is flagged. Supervision if needed.
Transparency commitment
Practices, prices and frame published. Any mission can be discussed or stopped.
