Compassion | We believe the protection and well-being of every life is of paramount importance and we shall join with other humanitarian actors to act as one in responding to the sufferings brought on by disasters, poverty, and injustice.
Custodianship | We uphold our duty of custodianship over the earth, its resources and the trust people place in us as humanitarian and development practitioners to be transparent and accountable.
Excellence | Our actions in tackling poverty are marked by excellence in our operations and conduct which is deserving of the people we serve.
