Our Ethos

 o   We see development as a process, not a gift – Poverty reduces people’s choices, not their abilities. We believe that people living in  absolute poverty have the knowledge, resources and opportunities for their own self-development. Our work begins with building on this.

 o   We treat equality as a must – Equal opportunities for men and women, girls and boys, are at the heart of what we do. We believe that when we tackle inequalities, we’re also tackling the root causes of poverty.

 o   When it comes to decision-making, participation is key – Participating in decision-making leads to empowerment. This holds true not only for our organization, but also for the people and partners we work with.

 o   We respect the environment – Environmental destruction poses a major threat to the groups we work with. Our work centres on the importance of respecting the earth’s environment, and our responsibility towards its natural resources.
