Our Values - What keeps us strong
These are the core beliefs and attitudes on which
our organisation has been built, and they are the
cornerstones of our success. These enduring values
guide our actions, decisions and relationships as we
work towards fulfilling our mission.
Courage - We take action
We have challenged traditional methods of orphan
care and continue to pioneer innovative child-care
approaches. We help children who have no one else
to turn to. With a sensitive yet confident approach we
are determined to question, learn and take action for
children around the world.
Commitment - We keep our promises
We are dedicated to helping generations of children
have a better life. We do this by nurturing lasting relationships
with our donors, our co-workers and the
communities in which we are rooted. We believe that by making a long-term commitment
we have a meaningful and sustainable impact.
Trust - We believe in each other
We believe in each other‘s abilities and potential. We
support and respect one another, and build an environment
where we can approach our responsibilities
with confidence. In an atmosphere of trust we are inspired
to share our experiences and learn from each
other.
Accountability - We are reliable partners
Since 1949 we have built a foundation of trust with
donors, governments, and other partners who support
us in our mission. Our greatest responsibility is
guaranteeing the well-being of children by ensuring
high standards of care. In doing this we are committed
to using all funds and resources wisely, with respect
and accountability.
