Our mission is to improve the livelihood and well-being of communities through provision of lifelong education, healthcare, agriculture, water and sanitation, infrastructure, micro-finance for small business, and advancement of economic development goals.
Our vision is to build a world where all communities have access to opportunities, services, and growth.
Focus on Respect & Dignity. We are a caring organization that reflects and appreciates the dignity, abilities, beliefs, values, opinions and expressed needs of our community and others. Our volunteers model honesty, fair play, positive attitudes, respect for self and others based on the following core values.
Respect: We root ourselves in our shared humanity and treat each other with respect, kindness, and compassion.
Dignity: We are at our best when we honor the equal dignity and worth of all people, even in face of conflict.
Community and Teamwork: We collaborate and build community through partnerships founded on integrity and trust. We value the transformative impact of collaboration, by working together, fostering open communication, honesty, furthering understanding, and building caring and supportive environments to achieve something bigger than we ever could alone. We encourage broad stakeholder engagement to identify community problems, strengths, and opportunities to enhance our services.
Wellbeing: We foster a safe environment that enhances the social, emotional, and physical well-being of our community and their families, making our community a safer place to live.
Accountability and Transparency: We take care of resources entrusted in our hands through generosity of others (funds and in-kind donations) in accountable and transparent manner. And demonstrate responsibility for our actions and results and committed to measuring, evaluating and reporting results and using all funds entrusted in our hands effectively and efficiently.
Equity: We actively outreach to those who are facing barriers accessing community services and support their well-being so that they are not disadvantaged because of their ethnicity, religion, gender, age, social class, socio-economic status, and other socially-determined factors.
Diversity: We appreciate and value the diversity and individual strengths of our volunteers and people in our community. And demonstrate this through our organizational policies and practices, decision making, sharing information in ways to ensure access.
