General Information
We currently have three full-time employees, while some 22 correspondents and photojournalists across the world have been shortlisted to work for us as stringers while six editors are also on-board to work on story-to-story basis. Our model is keep the organisation small in terms of full time employees and funds should be used for in-field assignment to optimally utilise our limited resources. As far as funding is concerned, we have been applying to various sources around the world but we have been using our own little kitty to lay the foundation of this organisation based on enormously powerful plan of action. Besides being an active affiliate media training and media watchdog institutions, the Silent Heroes, Invisible Bridges works closely with organisations across the Atlantic, Asia and Asia Pacific on issue concerning cross-religious, cross-border and cross-cultural interaction.
Mission and Objectives

• To bring out uncovered positive stories normally ignored in the rush of hard news and become platform for sharing those free-of-cost
• To create its own interactive readership and revenue base through online advertising
• To promote digital media and train journalists across developing nations through hands-on work

Main Projects / Activities

Thus this resource while generating its own readership would also offer free use of content under Creative Commons' license the permission for newspapers and websites to reproduce its materials, photos, videos and podcasts. The project also provides insight into such existing but hidden real heroes for building cross-cultural, cross religious and trans-national trust. We have already developed our project in three languages: Urdu, English and Arabic. In the next phase we plan to add Malay and Turkish languages besides incorporating French, German, Spanish and Portuguese as soon as resources and manpower becomes available. Besides English, French and Spanish media has too many stereotypes about Muslim cultures, societies and even Muslim minorities in countries where these languages are spoken.
We commission real on-ground stories to established journalists in their respective countries to prepare stories in video, audio and online format.
