- JoHo wants people and organizations to collaborate and contribute to a tolerant and sustainable world.
JoHo purpose
- Through the establishment of global stores (support centers), networks and internet platforms, JoHo wants to encourage and support people and organizations in sharing knowledge, making decisions and developing talent.
- "Discover the invented wheels": the common theme in the activities of JoHo is making information available. Sharing information and bringing parties together through a practical approach saves time, money and effort. Also in international cooperation knowledge is not always shared and available resources are often underused. The wheels are being reinvented, again and again and by many organizations.

Interested and enterprising people with initiatives in the field of international cooperation, development, sustainable tourism and conservation, can easily get connected, transfer knowledge and get support.

What is the meaning of the name JoHo?
- The name JoHo has had several meanings over the years. Today it refers to a more than 2000 year old quote from Ashoka. On the banks of the Ganges the Indian visionary & ruler Ashoka tried to explain to his people that all peoples of the earth are equal and can learn from each other: "Life is a Journey to Open mindedness, Helpfulness & Optimism."
"Life is a Journey to Open-mindedness,
Helpfulness & Optimism."
Soundbite: Experience
At my previous job we built a strong partnership with JoHo. I now work from the UK with a company in China. I wanted to see if there was an opportunity to discuss a potential partnership for this product as well. I remember JoHo being such a great partner of I-to-I, and it would be great if we could establish something similar now.
Now I do understand the description of your websites: "Travelling through JoHo (websites) is like a journey full op sidepaths and unexpected things". Instead of leading your visitors directly towards their end destination, you try to give them an exploratory trip that inspires. Nice!
