Today we share the story of how The Worldwide Tribe began.

I’m joined by my brother Nils who has been there with me every step of the way. From that first life-changing trip to Calais, to speaking at the UN Headquarters in New York less than a year later. He coached me through my nerves, unpicked my imposter syndrome and laughed through the negative comments. He was the stability I needed when my emotions got the better of me. Together we visited camps in France, Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Croatia, Italy and more, and went on to set up projects and spread the word in schools and events together. 

Now, Nils focuses on running Jangala Wifi - a project started by the Worldwide Tribe, Richard Thanki and Samson Rinaldi, that has gone on to be a charity and social enterprise in it’s own right, providing connectivity in emergency situations all over the world. 

Through our conversation we share how this journey changed our lives forever, and how we went from working in the advertising and fashion industries in London, to creating this global community of people who care.
