Inclusivity, Humility and Respect

We contribute towards a more inclusive world that embraces diversity and respects the rights of all people regardless of their race, background, gender, age, and physical abilities. We strive to treat everyone with empathy and respect. We do not claim to have all the answers and therefore we co-create solutions with our clients. We also understand that real change will only be achieved when we are attentive to the voices of the people we seek to impact because they understand their lived realities better. 

Community

Given that poverty eradication is an expansive agenda and that no single organisation or sector of the economy can address on its own, we are committed to being a part of a community of players who are working towards this agenda. For us it is not about competition but rather about adding value to what other players are implementing. We work with the donor community, civil society, private sector and government. We also understand our responsibility for the environment and do our part to support sustainable ways of living.

Purposeful and Continuous Improvement

We are committed to delivering results at the quality agreed with clients. We continuously learn from our clients, our team members, our previous and current experiences, and experiences of others in the development sector and develop innovative ways of delivery quality results. We work continuously to improve efficiencies and results.
