Our Values
Caring Attitude

Building Capacity
We are building the capacities of poverty-stricken communities in Northern Kenya so they can overcome political and economic marginalisation perpetuated by political leaders inside and outside the region.
Advocacy
We will take every opportunity to challenge the status quo which exploits the community's economic vulnerability and lack of opportunities to perpetuate tribal rivalry.
Respectfulness
We will strive to ensure poor communities in northern Kenya are given the opportunity to play an instrumental role in addressing their underdevelopment.
Partnerships
We will work with relevant partners and beneficiaries in a collaborative and respectful manner to address the beneficiaries' needs and aspirations.
Integrity & Accountability
We will always be fair to all and strive to adopt best practices such as transparency, accountability, fairness, and equality of opportunity.
Value for Money
We will ensure that our projects and the activities we undertake satisfy a value for money agenda.
Financial Sustainability
We believe our work as an advocate and service provider will be needed for many years to come. We will ensure that our choices are thoughtful and strategic so that we have enough financial resources to carry out our work.
