A world tree. A bunch of entrepreneurs. A global minimum. Indulge yourself!

The Philosophy of GMin: A World Tree

The strength of GMin lies in its flexibility and ability to adapt. Combining a strong local network with global connections produces an atmosphere of ambition and opportunity.

GMin is probably best described as a world tree. Each branch is part of the organization that carries out an independent project in a different country. Whilst one potential branch could seek proactive integration of immigrants in Denmark by holding soccer tournaments around the country, another could try to establish viable small-scale businesses in Bolivia. Two very different ways of helping people, but the branches share the same idea of network – local as well as global – as a key to opportunities and redeeming ambitions.

The partnership and communication between these different projects unite people from different countries, trades and professions thus making the GMin branch-network a constant catalyst for ideas.

A Global Minimum: More than malaria

The future of GMin lies with you, the prospective members. Even though most members of GMin presently direct their efforts into the eradicate malaria project, the scope of GMin’s work and structure is not static or fixed. Plus, we believe that the methodology employed for each project must be tailored to the country and its specific region, so there is plenty of scope for new projects. We have an open mind, and we are willing to put the efforts of our minds and hands where they matter the most.

As illustrated by the world tree the branches of GMin are different, but they are nevertheless united in a common goal: to reach a global minimum of disease, misery and poverty. GMin is comprised of idealists and ambitious people, but idealism must not be confused with naivety. Every human being has a right to life, to not die in childhood, to have the opportunity to develop his society and not to stand alone in the process.

Even though not a disease of today, malaria continues to cripple major parts of the developing world, and works as a big barrier for progress and development. We hold a key to solving this specific problem and have done so for many years. Therefore, fathoming that Africa nations still struggle with malaria is hard, and we are determined to use the simple tools available to make a difference.

Naturally, we can presently only operate in a limited area of focus – geographically and in the nature of the problem. But minimizing the extent of malaria in the Sahn Malen chiefdom would be a major achievement, which would consequently set resources free to be used for other purposes and places.
