Our Core Values

Simplicity

We understand the value of clear communications hence we are open and easy to understand. We also run a flat organizational structure that does not give room for any form of inequality.

Creativity

We think outside the box for solutions to problems as well as when developing our approaches to social problems.

Integrity

Our words are our bond. We hold in high esteem trust and keep to what we say we would do. We also value our donors and hold them in high esteem, hence we communicate with them with that understanding.

Appreciation

The art of appreciating all those who contribute in any form to the development of the organization is a part of our organization’s lifestyle.

Environmental Friendly Mindset

We consider the impact of anything we do on the environment before doing it. We try as much as we can to contribute to the sustainability of the environment.
