Talk:Riders for Health

Speedy tag
I am no way connected to this charity organization. I saw a program on CNN and wanted to add information about this organization that is doing incredible humanitarian work in Africa. How can this called a spam? Reliable references have been provided. Please explain. If you still doubt it's notability, please feel free to take it to WP:AFD.

The Issue that may be pertinent is that this 'charity' charges for its fleet management and logistics services. please refer to the uk charity commision website for an overview of their current accounts returns. It appears that the income generated from their charitable causes, would be enough to run the programmes wholely without the drain of resources caused by the management system. In addition I have been reliably informed by workers from an African country that the course at the international vehicle Academy in Harare, cost them approx $1,500 in 1993 (this did not include travel or accomodation). In addition their accounting policies have changed and a large proportion of staff costs are now listed as in the furtherance of the charities objectives. I personally consider that this Charity is little more than commercial venture supported by public donation and therefore it should not be included in the ngo charity section. In reference to Ganeshk Before you claim that work of this organisation is incredible in africa. Dig further than advertising and articles that focus on information fed by the organisation itself and possibly talk to their users who by recent accounts (That cannot be referenced due to contractual reasons) are not happy with cost, financial movements and quality of the service provided. AS I say look through the accounts the UK charity commision accounts its easy to navigate and search and make your own judgements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katgx701 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Riders for Health II
I looked at this article due to the death of Peter Williams (motorcyclist) where lots of new content and edits had been made by individuals new to WP; content included mention of Andrea (Williams), who married motorcycle racer Tom Herron who died in a 1979 racing accident, subsequently she married a Barry Coleman. They (Andrea and Barry Coleman) are the principles behind Riders, as it's often called nowadays. I don't have time to research into this article, and it would need reliable sources anyhow, but it is inaccurate, with the UK office closed in 2016, and the UK charity defunct from 2018 with a new organisation established in US called Riders for Health II, mentioned in 2009 info at Business Wire.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 00:39, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
