What Triangle Génération Humanitaire (TGH) does

Triangle Génération Humanitaire (TGH) is a French non-profit humanitarian organization (association loi 1901) founded on 13 May 1994 in Lyon, France, by Christian Lombard and Patrick Verbruggen, both of whom served as executive directors until 2024. TGH operates across the full humanitarian continuum — emergency response, rehabilitation, and development — delivering multi-sectoral programs in four areas of expertise: Food Security and Livelihood, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Education, and Protection. The organization is currently active in 13 countries (Algeria, North Korea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Madagascar, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Central African Republic, Sudan, Syria, Chad, Ukraine, and Yemen), running 47 programs that reach approximately 2.99 million beneficiaries, with a workforce of 640 staff split between 50 international salaried employees and 590 national salaried employees deployed in the field.

TGH does not operate a proprietary technology platform or commercial product portfolio; its "offerings" are humanitarian programs delivered through direct field implementation and local partner networks. Distribution is structured around country offices staffed by Desk Managers and Technical Experts (one per sector), supplemented by partnerships with local NGOs, civil society organizations, and national authorities (e.g., ANEA in CAR, FRDev in Nepal, SUDO in Sudan, local water corporations in Yemen, Algerian and Sahrawi Red Crescent societies). The organization does not sell products or services and does not apply commercial pricing; it holds GDPR compliance for personal data collected via its website.

The organization's revenue model is institutional funding and donations. TGH's 2024 annual budget was €31.2 million, with €28.1 million budgeted for 2025; accounts are certified by statutory auditor In Extenso. Approximately 93% of resources are devoted directly to field actions. Funding sources are concentrated in institutional donors: the European Union (including ECHO), UNHCR (under the Framework Agreement for Operational Partnership), the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs (via IFSAN), and other pooled funds; public donations are accepted through the website as a secondary stream. TGH's go-to-market is structured around institutional tender processes, consortium partnerships with peer INGOs (Action Contre la Faim, Mercy Corps, Solidarités International, Humanity and Inclusion, Première Urgence Internationale, Médecins du Monde), and long-term country presence built over 30 years of operations.
