Today, civil society in Timor-Leste is scattered: hundreds of organisations doing vital work, invisible to each other, to volunteers and to the people who could fund them — and every donor report retyped by hand.
Society of Timor is being built to change that: the national home for civil society — every NGO, community group, foundation, social enterprise and cooperative, with its programmes, its results and a transparency page computed from its own accounts.
We are part of the S.O.T. Group family — the team behind Stays of Timor (tourism), Services of Timor (trades & services), Shop of Timor and SOT Coin. One account, one wallet, one support team.
What we believe
- Numbers computed from real books beat numbers typed into a report.
- Transparency protects the organisation as much as the donor.
- A women's group in Viqueque deserves the same tools as an NGO in Dili — on an ordinary phone, in Tetum.
- The people served come first: their data is protected like a bank balance.
