Skateistan makes the Global Journal's 2013 "Top 100 NGOs" list

We are extremely proud to announce that Skateistan has been named in position 85 of the Global Journal’s "Top 100 NGOs". Skateistan also featured as one of the most promising new NGOs worldwide.

The Global Journal’s list of "Top 100 NGOs" is the only international ranking of its kind, and aims to bring attention to the dynamic, innovative and inspiring NGO sector which encompasses some 10 million organisations. To gain notoriety and recognition in the NGO sector for our innovation and success whilst Skateistan is still a relatively young organisation is a great honour, and our appearance in the Top 100 NGOs will only aid Skateistan in its ability to impact the lives of young children across the world.

We would also like to congratulate Friends International, our partner NGO in Cambodia, who appeared at position 61 in the Top 100 list. According to the Global Journal, they considered approximately 450 NGOs based on impact, innovation and sustainability.

The publication also considered effectiveness, efficiency and value for money, transparency and accountability, strategic and financial management, and peer review to create the list, according to Velina Stoianova from Global Humanitarian Assistance. Skateistan is pleased to be achieving a high standard of performance in these areas, which present an important challenge to NGOs.

“For anyone concerned with the future, innovation, impact and sustainability provide a good compass,”- Jean-Christophe Nothias, editor for the Global Journal.
