• We see people from God’s perspective and recognise their God given dreams, talents   and gifts. We are committed to create equal opportunities for all people. Everything we do   flows out of a relationship with God and people; we allow ourselves to be transformed in   the process.

• We work through relationships that nurture an environment for sharing knowledge,   resources and learning. We recognise that organisations do not work in isolation but in   the context of community structures. We intend to partner and network with   organisations, government and those who share our vision.

• We find ways to further the growth of indigenous leaders for locally based and initiated   community projects. We want to be culturally sensitive and relevant.

• We aim for children to grow up in families within their own communities. We support the   transformation of residential care facilities.

• We believe that all people are resourceful and strive to mobilise local community   responses.

• We want our work and that of our partners to be monitored so that resources are   accounted for. We strive to be good stewards of what we have been given.

• We ensure the transfer of organisational learning by aiming to work with teams rather   than individuals. We want to create an environment where everyone can have a chance to   learn together across barriers such as culture, distance and borders.
