What we stand for
-
To support and protect communities in South Sudan by providing essential resources, empowering local initiatives, and promoting sustainable development
-
Community | Engagement | Empathy | Humility | Transparency | Respect
-
Community is at the heart of people building. It is important because it provides a sense of belonging, support, and shared experiences. When we’re part of a community, we learn about shared values and beliefs.
In addition, it supports taking ownership of our progression and cements the collective action needed to build, grow and sustain the society.
-
Active engagement assures active participation, involvement, and
commitment as a core principle that is important in a relationship, workplace, or community, signifying the positive impact of actively
contributing and being invested in achieving shared goals or outcomes. We believe that it is important to keep beneficiaries involved and
participating in the activities that are catered to them and for them.
-
Empathy and humility are core values in human interaction as they are important for us to be able to relate and navigate with each other.
-
Transparency ensures that all persons remain accountable and clear in
everything that we do. Being that clear and straightforward in all that we do ensures that all stakeholders are looped in, informed decisions are made and there is authenticity in all our operations
-
Our approaches are centered in the value and respect for rights
particularly human rights so we believe that key values such as respect, empathy and humility are critical in our approaches and engagement.
