Our Core

Our mission is to build resilience and self-reliance among individuals and communities affected by conflict and natural disasters while championing the localization of humanitarian assistance.

Our Values

  • INTERGRITY

    We take our responsibility very seriously to carry out every decision and action honestly and transparently. While integrity means being good stewards of our finances, it goes beyond that to include honest and open communication and conduct amongst our team and the people we serve.

  • INDEPENDENCE

    We are a non-governmental organization (NGO) that operates independently. In complex operating environments, we are steadfast in our commitment to function independently of any government, militia, or political influences, ties, and agendas.

  • INCLUSION

    We are not all the same. We recognize, value, and celebrate differences. As an organization, we can only serve everyone by including everyone. We promote inclusion and diversity in the communities we serve.

  • Innovation

    INNOVATION

    In a rapidly changing environment and evolving humanitarian crisis, we believe an innovative spirit is the only way to address our complex challenges. We encourage creativity and innovation in our team culture and advocate for our partners to fund innovative solutions.

Our Approach

​​Community-based. Human Rights-based. Area-based.

Our Principles

We are non-political and non-sectarian, and provide humanitarian assistance based solely on need, without discrimination of race, faith, age, or gender.

Our vision is for a future in which all individuals and communities are self-reliant and thriving.
