Addressing Global Issues
Through Partnerships
We believe in..
- Working for the common good, without discrimination, with special consideration for the most vulnerable.
- Partnership and collaboration, recognizing that each nation, community and family hold responsibility for the rights and well-being of its members but as global citizens we share concern for all.
- Response to acute needs – backed by preparedness systems, and efforts that address root causes.
- A holistic approach – that meets critical needs but also supports basic rights, good governance, social and economic well-being and environmental sustainability, guided by national and international law.
