OUR VALUES

COMMITMENT

We are committed to loving and serving the poor and marginalized in the developing world, striving to enable lasting improvement in their lives, families, and communities. The needs, expectations, and wellbeing of families in poverty inspire everything we do.

HUMILITY

A spirit of serving in all that we do. We are committed to modelling the attitude of being of service to one another, and not one of personal superiority or advantage (whether based on our position, influence, personality, wealth, or otherwise).

RESPECT

We operate on the basis of respect for all people. We fully value everyone and affirm personal dignity and uniqueness. This respect is also the foundation for our relationships with communities and others involved in our work, including supporters, investors, program partners, and service providers.

INTEGRITY

We honor the trust placed in us by the families we serve, supporters, investors, program partners, service providers, and staff. We endeavor to manage all our resources transparently, reflecting our motivation. We aim to do the right things for the right reasons, whether or not anyone will know.

STEWARDSHIP

We are committed to being good stewards of resources, exercising a thoughtful and cost-effective use of time, skills, and finances. We promote excellence, professionalism, and best practices in every aspect of our work, seeking to maximize every opportunity to fulfill our mission.

TRANSFORMATION

We are committed to providing services, resources, and encouragement that equip families and communities for better economic prospects, new futures, new hope, and dignity. We acknowledge that transformation is a two-way street and that our staff and supporters are an essential part of the transformational journey.
