By providing resources, skills, and opportunities for participation, help them build resilience, and become self-reliant. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and agency, ensuring that our efforts are sustainable and aligned with the true needs and priorities of the people we serve.
- Respect: Respect is fundamental to our work in building trust and upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals affected by crises.

We believe in building trust to foster positive relationships that is essential for effective and compassionate assistance.
- Do no harm: We believe in Do No Harm principles and emphasize the importance of avoiding unintended negative consequences of our humanitarian interventions. Through this principle, we ensures that assistance efforts do not exacerbate existing conflicts, inequalities, or vulnerabilities within the affected communities. By carefully assessing the potential impacts of our actions, we supports recovery and resilience without causing further harm or destabilization.
- Transparency and accountability: Transparency and accountability is laying at the core of our work and is critical for building trust between us and the communities/ individuals we serve. We believe that accountability requires organizations to be answerable for their actions, decisions, and the use of resources, ensuring that they meet their commitments and address any issues that arise. Together, these principles help maintain integrity, improve performance, and foster a culture of trust and cooperation in our efforts.
